Interesting and distant source. Clearly not familiar with UPS HR process as practiced. UPS HR is in a logistics quagmire. Several departments impact new hire flow and mostly a reactive process.
They respond to demands outside their control. (Training department capability for example) which is impacted by many other variables and pressures internal to the company.
Having a pool is the normal outcome of a variable and reactive practices of UPS management.
The real frustration with the pool, isn't that it operates as a functional accumulator for hiring and scheduling demands, (most folks actually pass through the pool even if as short as a few days) but that once in the pool it is essentially a black hole. Once in the pool one never knows their orbit. Many get to close to the edge and never are seen again....others are fortunate to be pulled out before they disappear.
Would be nice if UPS simplified to a first in, first out order in the pool.
Wont change IMO. Works for UPS.
