Isn't this a bit of a non-story? There's no evidence that they were forced to do anything. Nearly every senior job is advertised somewhere.

For example - you can apply to be Puisne Judge of the Supreme Court of Gibraltar if you like https://apply.judicialappointments.digital/vacancy/lQlCzxeR4...

The Royal Navy seems to advertise all levels of jobs on LinkedIn - and wider.

Surely having an open and fair advertisement is better than finding someone you went to school with and discreetly tapping them on the shoulder?

Wasn't aware of this. Can you please link to some more similar job ads? Is this the standard in other militaries too?

Based on what I know there is a roster of eligible candidates with the required experience in most countries. One of them is promoted from there to fill in the vacancy. I've never seen an ad for a post like this before.
