Why do recruiters set up a call with me, say they'll back to me about a next interview, then tell me the firm currently isn't hiring for the role? Why even have the job posting in the first place?

Various possibilities -- most likely either the vacancy was canned at short notice after the job was advertised, or the recruiter is speculatively fishing a pool of candidates

Any advice on how to get past this?

Hi all,

I have cleared all the interviews for Walmart and salary negotiations are also done. A month ago the recruiter said that they are waiting on some approvals and once it is done we will be issuing the offer letter but I haven't heard back any other update since then. Am I getting rejected or is it normal to be on hold without any update for a month at this stage?
