When my wife worked at Hydro it was the same, nothing sneaky going on. Some jobs would first be posted internally if they could not be filled they would be posted externally. There were other positions that were posted in both locations internal/external the tie always went to the internal hire.
She now has a Provincial Govt Job for Healthlink BC and again jobs are advertised Internal and External, you have to really stand out to beat an internal applicant. My wife was told when she was hired as an external for a regular position it was super rare and they never hire external applicants for regular (Non Temp) positions but they head hunted her to come over.
My point is it happens all the time, there is nothing shady going on it's just the way it is.
