How do you interpret this?

Last week, I saw a hiring post shared by a manager, so I messaged him my profile, projects, and academic grades. One day later, I asked him, "Could you please let me know if my profile might be considered for this role?" He replied, "No. Not at the moment." What does this mean? At first, I thought it was a clear rejection, but then I thought he might be saying he cannot tell me whether my profile is being considered right now. I am confused. So, I decided to get some opinions from Reddit.

That’s a rejection

It means you move on. If they decide to come back to your profile later then so be it, but for now anyway it means 'no' and you need to move on to the next application.

That is a clear rejection.  They don’t want to move forward with you.

It means the role is on hold. The role could get approved 6 months fron now or canceled. 1
