Faced this weird behaviour from Optum recently. Gave interview for Data Scientist position. HR said feedback is positive. Asked for documents. It's been month now since I have shared the documents. I have no update on the offer. Today I called HR, she called me back saying the position is on hold due to recalibration in team, She has shared interview feedbacks to other teams and will get back to me in couple of days. I am clueless now. My last working day is approaching (In a month). Any Help??

I had interviewed with Deloitte UK consulting in June/July and was called by the HR team by the end of July that the interviews were positive and they're sending for approval for an offer to be rolled out. I was called back later in September and told that the role is on hold due to a hiring freeze. Is anyone else in this situation and have you'll heard back from the HR team post that
Based on merit? I don’t think so

I take it to mean they are simply harvesting resumes to review further down the road if/when they do decide to hire for the role. I'm not wasting my time on them unless I can one click apply. When I do, it's with the assumption that there's a 99% chance I will never hear from the company.
It usually means the company wants to fill the role eventually, but something budget, leadership changes, shifting priorities is delaying them. Personally, I don’t bother applying to these unless I have a direct contact at the company who can vouch for me. Otherwise, it’s a waiting game that rarely pays off. Better to focus your energy where there’s real movement.
