In order to qualify as an equal opportunity employer an open position must be posted to the public. If you wish to convert a contractor to an employee the position already filled by that person must be posted to the public in compliance with EEO law. You can put whatever you want in the job requirements for that position, as the candidate is chosen before the position is posted.

Sometimes companies over list job requirements because they don't understand the position's actual requirements and other times they want a purple unicorn.
