After second round of interview, the recruiter said we are in holding pattern and there is some delay. What does a "holding pattern" in recruiting process at EY mean?

Slow business probably. They don’t want you on the bench when they hire you. So they’re holding off.

They are rethinking if they should hire you our not, as the business may not be able to support hiring at this time. Good luck.

I'm thinking how the firm only understands their business situation or slowness after the candidates have completed the interview rounds. Firms are so proactive in getting candidates attend the interview and arrange everything for them.
It sucks to wait for a month and still not get a answer.

Was it in national or FSO? A few national domains have had a heavy bench for a few months but are starting to pick up. Could be that they want you but don’t want to add to an already deep bench. I’ve heard from other companies that are also facing the same thing that a date range is given for when an expected start date is

Hmm makes sense! Atleast that means the firm is considering me.

M/SM and above, why do you label a meeting as “touch point” or ask if you can have a “quick chat” when it’s something serious? Millennials like us always assume we’re about to get fired - I actually have been laid off in a meeting with that title. But at my new job, my boss asked for a “quick chat” to literally ask me to change the title of a meeting and then chat about christmas. Now that I’m in management, I want to understand it better.
