Better than ghosting I suppose
Companies should have "Contingent Upon Award" listed on their job description to indicate the position would be filled once the contract is awarded. It is a way for companies to show that they have staffing available and ready if they were awarded (gives them an advantage over companies with a lot of vacancies as the awarded company is expected to come in and start work as soon as their contract starts).
Also having positions filled and salaries negotiated gives both the client and the hiring company an understanding of the funding required for their contracts, which is utilized in the bidding process. If a company is hiring staff at higher rates, they're going to want to have increased rates for their contract to counterbalance payments to the staff and profits to their company. This is billable rates vs overhead charges for the labor category (can't remember the actual term, but companies get a base payment for positions within the contract, and hire staff at a lower rate, hence the salary range listed in the job descriptions; the higher the salary, the less overhead profit they'll receive).
Contingent upon reward is just a way for the company to bring more leverage to the table when fighting for a contract bid.
Similar to one I got about the role being eliminated before they even hired anyone.
So, this is how business does work for some companies, including one (not yours) event where something similar happened where I work. We were in negotiations with a client and would have a very short ramp time, so we were taking applications and getting things lined up for if the contract went through.
It did not go through, the contract did not get funded, and we had to let the two potential hires know that, while we would have liked to hire them, the work just wasn't there anymore because of business events.
Not that unusual.
Bummer. At least, they were transparent. 😊
