Hi Guyz,
Any one from IBM ?
I went through the entire recruitment process and got selected for IBM ISL. Now I am being told by the HR that they are unable to release offer as there is a hiring freeze.
Can any one please tell me if its correct or just an excuse not to give me offer. If its true, when will this freeze be removed?

They are probably looking to hire urgently
Yeah they mentioned about it and I said asap since I’m in the market and they said great.
Pretty normal question I’d just give your real answer
In my experience they’re just looking for a normal answer and no weird circumstances.
“I’d have to give notice and I have planned trip, so 3-4 weeks” is my go-to response
It means they want to hire you and want to hear your response because they need the position filled. But no matter how dire an agency will always choose the best hire over fastest so just be honest.
I had a management professor in college who used to tell us we should respond “I already clocked in” lol
It’s definitely a mark on the plus side for you but they also may have a deadline to fill the role.
