What does pre-hire list mean at USPS?

A pre-hire list at the United States Postal Service (USPS) refers to a list of candidates who have successfully completed the initial stages of the hiring process, including application and assessment, and are awaiting final hiring decisions. Being on this list indicates that a candidate is considered for employment but has not yet received a formal job offer. It serves as a pool of potential hires that USPS can draw from when job openings arise.
