It is often the case, and very unfortunate. Also besides a 'written job description' -- there are always unspoken 'tokens' for candidate's gender or, even, race, perhaps other attributes. Studies on this type of subject are a taboo these days. Promotions to different organizational levels in larger corps (with 20k employees or more, I would say) -- is like breaking through glass ceiling. You can see the other side, you can do the job on the other side -- but you cannot get through there... Scott Adams, Dilbert author, had a personal experience about a promotion he was sharing.
