So I recently interviewed with a major tech company(Top 3 in my country) one phone interview, one Skype, and lastly a five hour on-site interview with five different members of the organization.



I felt it went pretty well and I was hoping to receive an offer for the position, until I got a phone call saying I was unsuccessful and they went with another candidate who matched the skill-set required and was available immediately(my current notice period is 4-6 weeks)



The internal recruiter then went on to say that their IT Director and the rest of the team really liked me and wanted to get me into the team, they also said that all of my feedback was great/good, and that there wasn't any negative feedback from the interviews.



He said they would be in touch sometime in the neat future, hopefully with an official offer and they were just waiting for approval to onboard more staff from higher up, they also suggested we have lunch within the next few weeks to discuss it.



I've never been in a situation like this before so hoping to get some answers from people who have experienced it, i'm hoping it will help me prepare for the upcoming weeks / best way to approach it.



So I'd like to know is this a common tactic used by large companies?
how hopeful should I be that an official offer could come from this?



If this is too out of scope or shouldn't be here just let me know.



All answers appreciated
