Have interviewing for a senior role with a company and have gone through multiple rounds. Was then told that they are trying to get approval for additional head count at an analyst level (cont.)

Instead of SA. Was still interested as the comp was significantly higher than where I am at now. Fast forward to today, I was emailed by HR saying that they did not get approval for additional headcount but they will look to reach out in the future should something arise. I get rejecting someone based on bad interviews but the feedback was all positive. What is the purpose of making someone go through rounds and case interviews without qualifying them for the position first? Thoughts?

Could be an excuse for “our spots has been filled” or something alike.
I recruited at a consultancy very recently. Got a direct call from an MD who interviewed me for the first round, telling me there will be a superday in the weeks ahead. Never heard back from the firm for 3 weeks. I reached out to HR and was told that the spots has been filled simply because other candidates had earlier superdays.

I interviewed for three roles where after screening and even a few more interviews, I was told the position was no longer open. Feedback across all 3 is that the position was filled by someone who applied before me, but they liked my resume and wanted to keep me in their pipeline

This is normal. Things change all the time. You are not special. Role x turns into role y then role z. You have to play it out / sometimes you may been benefit from it. Other times not. The most important thing is not to personalize it - it’s not about you, it’s just about changing needs.
