I was informed by recruiters that my status is placed on hold after an IB FT superday I attended. They said they would get back to me by 2 weeks so I'm assuming this is like a waitlist.
Would telling them I have an exploding offer due before the 2 weeks help me at all or more likely hurt me?
Never been put on hold before so not sure what to realistically expect. Thanks all.

Do you actually have an exploding offer, or are you considering a bluff?
I actually do have one
Then you may as well let them know. It may not help, but I can't see how it would hurt. The alternative is saying nothing and accepting the offer in hand, at which point you disqualify yourself from the waitlist firm anyway...
Definitely helps. I know for a fact that my friend mentioning he had an exploding offer from a solid MM tipped the scales for a BB/EB.
Let them know about the exploding offer, it's a win-win. They either are interested and will let you know ASAP or they're not interested and they'll let you know ASAP. Telling them will not sway their decision negatively and it just gets you an answer one way or the other faster.
