Cloudbeds poor interview practice

I applied to an SDR position at Cloudbeds 5 weeks ago and they asked me to do a 30 minute 1 way video interview and personally test.

After doing that I waited 4 weeks for a response, and eventually had a call with their recruiter yesterday.

This morning I had a call with an SDR manager who told me they do not intend to make me/anyone an offer as they ARE NOT HIRING and just finding candidates for pipeline....... 

in their words candidates to "have up my sleeve" 

avoid this company

I have seen that before - companies have a permanent position posted on their website for various positions. They aren't really hiring, but just collecting resumes "just in case".

Its a sucky practice and the d-bags who do deserve to be looking for jobs themselves.

Is that something we could complain about, or there's no liability at all on the company in this case!!
