Just to add to this I know of two guys who passed interview selection a few years back, then got placed into the hold pool and never got asked out of it and still don't have a job with us. That tells me more suitable candidates were interviewed at a later date, it happened to me with TC in 2004, it's just the way it is in this game !! The moral is nothing is done until its done, if they want you, you will be offered a position, if they don't you won't ! simple !
