Recently I've been interviewing with companies, and I've noticed that after the entire interview process is completed, they return saying they are putting hiring on hold temporarily and will pick it up next quarter. I observed this with 2 companies, hardly a trend, could've just been my bad luck. But just wanted to check if anyone else is also facing something similar while looking out for a job?
Are companies interviewing candidates for a potential role and keeping them on standby as a means to hire them at a later point quickly?
