Think of the active hold file as a mini seniority list. 48 applicants come through the interview process every month. Some make it on to the list some don't. Depending how you went on the day you will be ranked and added to the list. When your numbers up you will get your letter of offer..unfortunately for the guys who have been on for a while, date of interview isn't the key it's the score you get on the assessment day. In other words you could be at the top but the latest assessment centre could see you drop considerably should applicants out rank you. Be patient and for those who arnt DE..head to the bush and clock up the hours, will be benifical in their long run.

So, in effect, by your description it is
nothing like a seniority list. Once on a
real seniority list you cannot be gazumped by someone who joins it later.
Perhaps a different anecdote is warranted
