I had one like that for the civil service,
there was an interview as well (which was a particularly horrible one), but all things considered, my rejection from that particular job was entirely justified.

That was quite a curious arrangement, actually.
We were told at the start, "this is not a competition, any one of you who meets the required standard will be offered a position, even if that's all of you, or none of you."
I can't imagine how that works, internally, but there you go.
