In the private sector that would happen if nobody suitable internally.
Local authority I would expect that a notification is published to say that no suitable candidates were found among those who applied.Then re-advertise or advertise in national papers.
Don't know about local authority rules,but would you disqualify yourself by leaving? I go see no 2 not happy
