    Not everyone will be assigned a job. Most of them will go into what's called the 'talent pool'. They'll be "On Bench" until they get assigned to projects. Although its good for company to show so many recruitments; its certainly not good for those who'll be on bench.

    Also, when things go wrong financially (during recession), these are the people who suffer the most.
