A person who achieves a desired position due to
one or more nonjob competency related criteria. The
organization may deem that the criteria helps their public or other social favorability. I.E. the candidate "checks the box". This term and related policy has become more frequently used in politics and in very large public or private companies, to not infrequent
embarrassing ends, since a more competent applicant would have been overlooked in favor of a box checker.
