Two times in my life I fit what were obviously tailored requirements. In one case I was absolutely more qualified than the internal applicant (this was a very specific type of biological survey that was not common but I had had the good fortune of having done most of the existing work in the world)
Never heard a word, not even an “are you for real” letter. My references were from the top people in the field too.

“Ha! Yeah right. You’re TOO PERFECT. This must be fake, obviously. You can’t fool me! NEXT.”
That was my fear doing the whole thing. I guess I was right to be worried. 😁
