One more thing, keep your chin up and positive.

It's an old scenario. The management probably evaluated their present infrastructure and decided not to employ him. My suggestion is to move on. I'm sure there will be brighter opportunities down the road.

I had that happen with the post office before. I was emailed a job offer, accepted it, and next day hiring freeze. Company mentioned they had halted hiring for the position until further notice. I never heard from them again.

Scammers!! They ask for your full details and later after getting they tell you no

I wound ask for a full explanation, then inquire if there were other positions that I might be considered for.

In addition my background and job history is perfect.

I had a written offer and a background check when they retracted the offer because they made an internal change at the last minute. I had given my current employer a notice. Try that one on for size. I have been out of a job for 6 months.

Such a corporate move. I dislike corporate decisions. Such a shame for Elijah!

No way, he should be thankful he found out their true colors and consider himself lucky. On to a better fit w/people who have integrity.
