Internal Hiring

When applying internally for a job, does corporate pull all applications and forward them to the hiring managers or does the store themselves pull the apps?

I am a part time cashier and applied for a part time head cashier position in my store a month ago and just got a notification from "Lowe's Talent Acquisition" that they are going with other candidates without even getting an interview.

Pretty much every manager and head cashier I deal with have said they wish all of the cashiers were more like me (they literally dont have to worry about checking on me and they always put me on tasks cause they know I get them done).

I did let my DS and 2 of the ASMs know that I had applied which I figured I would at least get an interview.
