Not much you can do. It's frustrating isn't it.

At one time, right around the death of dotcom (2001'ish), I was hired by
a certain nameless company 3 times and never worked a day. It was very
frustrating at the time considering that my interviews were live with
the technical team, department manager, and CIO. It was a total of 12
hours of interviews and each time ended in a "Your on, will call you
when your package is done - welcome aboard". Thinking back on it now
though, I'm sort of satisfied with the outcome since I would have never
made it long at a company that sloppy.

I guess the only advise I can offer (for what it's worth) is to keep
looking while you wait and be leery of a company that's willing to treat
folks like that.
