(3) Limitation The direct hire authority under this subsection shall be exercised with respect to a specific qualified candidate not later than 2 years after the date that the candidate completed the requirements related to the fellowship or temporary rotational posting described under this subsection.

(d) Existing programs In carrying out this section, the Director may leverage existing programs, including programs that issue—
