Keeping job applicants on standby in case a staff resigns?

[King Belieal]

Some organizations don't tell job applicants directly that there is no vacancy available. They would invite the candidate for an interview and keep him or her on pending with the promise to call back the candidate. They only get to call the candidate when a staff leaves the organization.

What do you think of this practice?

It is necessary one keep a job on a standby incase of any staff quit you can pick up one file and call the stand by.

How are they even sure that the applicant that was on standby would be available when a staff quits and they need to replace?

Well, every needs a backup plan so I would not blame the organization. But as you have stared the problem is always getting the person when needed as the person would not wait for too long before looking elsewhere
