In the current climate, no FTO/ATO can or should be offering any guarantees of employment after completion of training - fact.
To anyone who is seriously considering embarking upon a course of commercial flight training and who may be seduced into attending a pilot 'selection day' and told "you are guaranteed a job if you train with us", my advice is to STEER WELL CLEAR!!
Similarly, any schools or academies who claim that "our training is approved by X, Y and Z airlines" should be fully checked out - you may well find that is news to the airlines in question!
The sales and marketing teams that represent the FTOs work for the FTOs and are predominantly interested in revenue generation and the bottom line. Most are genuine - one or two however are most definitely not, they know who they are and they should be avoided at all costs.
