Not sure about this situation but I know my company interviews for jobs in order to get redundancy picks. Interviewed someone for a position that had already been hired for, then three weeks before they job was supposed to start the guy phoned and said he wasn't going to continue with the company for the position. The person that was interviewed late got a call back and hired.
We hire for a short term seasonal job and people screw us over all the time by accepting the job and then continuing to look for a better one and bailing at the last minute, so we have to interview a lot of people as backup options. Had three people bail last minute this year, one of which we didn't have enough time to re-hire for and had no backups so now we have to try and cover it on top of our normal duties which is a big strain.
seems pretty common, they mightve had other interviews with better offers at the same time, probably went for the better offer than your company.
there is an offchance that some applicants are cherry picking which they apply to multiple jobs, get one call back and then bail because they were hoping for something else to come along and applied to your job as a placeholder, eventhough other jobs having responded to them yet.
No all three accepted offer, signed employment letter, went through a certification test that's required for the work and cost the company $100. Then 2-3 weeks before the start date they say they got a better job.
We hire early to make sure certification can get done, which is why there's a lag before start date. It's an outdoor seasonal summer job usually university students.
sounds like the first option, they found a better job while yours was a contigency plan.
