Not by an open jon board like USAJobs.gov. I know someone who did a relatively high profile job in one of the administrative departments. They didn’t know anyone. They just applied online, interviewed, background check, etc - just like a regular job. Their appointment was based on their abilities instead of who they knew, no palm greasing involved.
