No it’s allocated on merit and then location is offered on availability and business need. Hence why some people are not necessarily offered a preferred location

Just want to confirm this is how it is done - when I was interviewed I asked for clarification and they confirmed that the highest scoring get the position regardless of their desired location. of course they do try to give people their choice but it is purely based of demand ultimately. You can still pass the basic requirements for the job and be put of the reserve list this has nothing to do with your location it just means other people scored higher than you and the number of openings were filled
