Yep. I'm working for that company now, as a matter of fact. I never made
it to the interview stage last fall, when they originally created the
position and started the recruiting process. They put it on hold until
this spring, and I started here the beginning of May.
IME, this kind of stuff happens all the time--the company could have
project delays, some kind of mysterious budget hassle, or any number of
reasons to put a job requisition on hold. Try not to take it personally.
