Experienced hire offer postponed

I was recruited as an experienced industry hire into one of the strategy consulting firms. I received a verbal offer, was waiting on the official package, and then told that there were no open positions across the firm. HR advised that some spots my open up later this year and would reach out if and when they do.

Anyone ever hear of this happening at MBB, Deloitte, Strategy&, or similar firms? How did it turn out?

Thanks for the comments. I think it's a headcount issue and bad timing. They're flush with both recent undergrad/MBA grads and summers to staff current engagements, so I'll have to wait for the crowd to thin out a bit.
