status after interview "put on hold"

[mos]

Last week I was interviewed for well known divestment program and the agent says that my status was set to "on hold". How to interpret this? Apparently a few people got rejected and no one else got an offer yet (or so agent says).

Keep looking

[Sausage Surprise]

Forget it and move on. If they want you they'll be back.

Standard agency comment - basically means the job isn't yours, you're not good enough.

Keep looking and move on to the next gig.

It is yet another standard agency saying for you didn't get the gig.

Good luck with the search.

[russell]

You never got it, move on.

[oscarose]

Better luck with the next one.

Vacancy doesn't exist and agent is on a fishing trip.

I am also very suspicious about this job, as this bank is known to produce job specs / numbers for each opening – but not for the jobs for which I have been recently interviewed.

I am also very suspicious about this job, as this bank is known to produce job specs / numbers for each opening – but not for the jobs for which I have been recently interviewed. I worked there twice before – and during recent interviews I was being questioned in detail about my previous experience at this bank. Is it possible that hiring managers are also phonies these days and re fishing for dirt on their coworkers (have I mentioned that hiring managers were newbies at the bank) ?

I am scrupulously polite about ex-coworkers without being too keen. You never know the interviewer's agenda.
