They flushed the pool but never stopped interviewing or hiring that I know of. I have no idea why, it doesn't make sense. Some of us had been in the pool for quite a while, constantly updating and reapplying every Jan. They didn't tell me that I had been flushed, no call, no emails. I had to find out through some back door inquiries that an acquaintance made on my behalf. This shouldn't be secret information, but that was the first I'd heard about it. Maybe if anyone goes to a job fair they can directly ask the recruiters WTH. I heard on the Facebook RST Ups site there was additionally "chatter" about this. One of my coworkers who'd been in the pool for about 6 months also was told there's no more pool and they flushed it (again without telling us). I heard that the new process, if you don't get a reject letter, you're probably still in the running but you won't know until they call you for a class date (seems like a new pool to me but they're not calling it that). Anyway, that's all I know other than old poolies should reapply when the window opens, but have to start the whole process again.
