Had a phone screen with the hiring manager for an open position I was recruited for. Phone screen was super positive, and both hiring manager and recruiter said they wanted me to come onsite. A few days later I received a call from the recruiter telling me the position was "put on hold". Does this happen often or should I be reading something into this?
Happened to me too. I even got invited to onsite until they informed me the position is on hold due to re-org. A month later they contacted me regarding a new position and I interviewed for that and got hired. So they are telling you the truth.
