You click that banner and it takes you to OPM.gov where it says they are hiring. This is the site for the Senior Executive Services! This is the bureaucracy that runs the swamp. The heart of deep state in DC. This is also the group of people directly targeted in one of Trumps last Executive Orders. EO 13979. Ensuring Democratic Accountability in Agency Rulemaking. Trump told us luck was a very important word. Saint Patrick's Day is the 17th of March.

If you scroll down the jobs that are open they are mostly in health care fields and many of them for Indian Health Services and some military. Don't really see any senior executive swamp positions listed but I didn't scroll all the pages.
It appears they are hiring due to COVID. That would mean there are not enough USPHS professionals to fill the need. IHS positions in particular are hard to fill because the pay is not comparable to the private sector. So much for good paying government jobs. In addition, some of the locations are a problem and can be in remote areas. I know, because I worked within that system. I was under a grant so the pay for me was at least decent while the traveling was a pain. Unfortunately, since the pay for many of the available positions is low it can attract individuals that may not be able to cut it in the private sector. At the same time, they are serving a population that is often at risk. I saw my share of questionable stuff. Bureaucracy is hardly ever the most efficient way to deliver health care.
