Company not taking me serious? (Engineering Technician) 6

[Panther140]

I have been a candidate for a position as an engineering technician at a company for over a month. It is a job I would love, and it is dealing with engines, which is by far what I know the most about.

Here is a chronology of everything I have done with them:
1- 40 minute HR phone interview
2- 3 hour long "caliper" online personality and aptitude test
3- 60 minute interview with lab manager
4- 5 hour on-site interview meeting with 8 people in the department -- (It went well for the most part and they said I did really well in the analytic portion of the test)
5- Phone call from HR telling me they think I would be a better fit for the other position that I applied for
6- 3 hour on-site interview with the guys from that department -- I was asked twice if I would consider working there through a contractor :/ (This interview went really well and these guys acted more enthusiastic about me as a candidate)

They have a rapidly growing department as they are implementing a lot of new technology into their engines, but what does all of this mean as far as how they view me as a candidate? I am concerned with the fact that they are mentioning contracting agencies. What does this generally mean in your company when they do things like this?

You're 19? I'm duly impressed by your command of the English language and the manner with which you've presented yourself here. Your initial question was well worded and your follow-up responses were respectful and complete. I'm not trying to be an ass, either. All too often I've seen posts from younger generations that are lacking in basic grammar and punctuation skills, not to mention deplorable overall sentence structure. Kudos to you, Panther140. You've restored my faith in millennials.

JMirisola, thank you for the kind words. It is funny that you say that, actually. One of my coworkers attempted to guess my age today, and was off by 6 years.
