Every few weeks they have a meeting and discuss each candidate and make a decision on whether or not they’re going to offer you a hold file position. If you only just scraped through all of the “stages” then they may consider you not up to scratch at the moment. I assume this philosophy is to give people the best chance - keep the standard relatively low so if you bomb one part (whether it be an interview, academic results etc) then you can make it up by going really well in another.
This is why some people get reference checks and a few weeks later get a “thanks but no thanks”.
If that’s the case, they are very out of touch with the current hiring climate.
It’s qlink for Christ sake, basically where you go if you can’t get in anywhere else.
