Comment on They have already decided to promote an existing employee. But play the "search" game and screw you

there is an offchance that some applicants are cherry picking which they apply to multiple jobs, get one call back and then bail because they were hoping for something else to come along and applied to your job as a placeholder, eventhough other jobs having responded to them yet.

No all three accepted offer, signed employment letter, went through a certification test that’s required for the work and cost the company $100. Then 2-3 weeks before the start date they say they got a better job.
We hire early to make sure certification can get done, which is why there’s a lag before start date. It’s an outdoor seasonal summer job usually university students.

sounds like the first option, they found a better job while yours was a contigency plan.
