HR response after applying for job

Hello I applied for a job that very much met my qualifications. Can this group help me figure out what this response means: -- Thank you for expressing interest in the XXX position. Helping our team members find positions that best fit their skills and passions is an important part of equipping xxx to do great things. Please note that this is not a posting for an open position. Your application only indicates your interest in the position. You will be contacted by a representative ... -- What does this mean? A general collection of resumes for a job that really isn't open? Thank you!

Companies that post jobs that exist but are not necessarily available at the moment, after making you jump through hoops to apply, are a big turn off for me. Hiring platforms are a nearly unscalable digital wall so that the people-people can do less peopling. It's never a good look to waste a candidate's time. I find that those are usually jobs that have a high rate of turnover as well. Also not a good look for a company. It's a good rule to always be hiring by looking for candidates you may need in the near term, but there are ways to gather resumes without the shenanigans.

We use these tools for talent pipelining, meaning if future (hopefully sooner rather than later) comparable positions open we can reach out to those whom have expressed interest but also for future opportunities in possible other areas.

You're invited.
