When you see job listings that say hiring is “on hold”, do you still try to apply or let it be? I've seen some posts that are on hold for literal months, and it's exhausting to keep watch on them. What exactly does it even mean to put the hiring on hold - do they need someone to fill up the role or not?

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.

I found a company I was really excited about working at. I applied for the job and went through 5 rounds of interviews. At the end they said I was OVER qualified and they want me for a different position higher up in the company. I was super excited they then had me go through 5 more rounds, 3/5 people were the same. The interviews mostly went "didn't you get the job, I highly recommend you? I'll just put you down as a 10". After those were done they told me I was UNDER qualified. Can't win!
