@ undertherainbow: I don' care at all when will they need people from the pool, because I will not put myself in any pool. If the need me now, which might be likely for the summer season, I will be available to start working straightaway. If they will put me on a stand-by status, I will continue to do interviews. If I will still be free when they will ever call me, I will come, otherwise no. In other words, I can accept they can not go ahead with a contract immediately after the assessment, however in this case I will make sure with HR that I might not be available in the future.
