To you, what does it mean to be on a company's "short-list" of candidates?

Graduating in May and a few companies have told me this as of late. Just trying to gauge interest, etc.

If you don't know what being on the shortlist means maybe you should stay in school a little bit longer

That they will hire you if the few people they picked ahead of you doesn't work out.

It's a euphemism. It means they're likely not hiring you.

It means a HR intern read the cover letter of your resume instead of throwing it straight in the garbage.

It means they're just trying to get you off the phone.

I'd say you should keep applying elsewhere, if it works out great. If not you'll have a back up plan.

It means you are not a slam dunk hire or in first place in the selection process.

It's about the same as a girl saying "maybe" when you ask her to prom. She might go with you but only if there's no better options, and she won't enjoy it.

It means if the few posters ahead of you fail their drug test the job is yours.

Have you interviewed? If not, short list when I hire (before interviews) are six selected "pulled" resumes. Those get interviews. From there, I then short list again down to three.
