Was it cover letter, resume, and certificate of degree from an accredited University? Because that's not sight unseen, just delegated to your department and registrar, which Boeing has deep connections with. They do offer those regularly, but they also have enough trust in that accreditation to serve as a good signal.
Odd but not unheard of. I got a job offer from Boeing sight unseen based on a cover letter and resume. When I asked, they did give me a site visit (though I didn't ultimately take the offer).
I know it may seem odd in a world of leetcode interviews etc. but, if you're hiring a bunch of new grad engineers for one of the aerospace boom cycles, you can save a lot of effort by just hiring a bunch of people out of schools that pass some filter.
