What does "We'll keep your resume on file" mean ?
So, I've been reaching out to a few consulting companies and all of them say "Hey, we are not hiring right now but I've shared your CV to keep on file". What does this statement actually mean and what "file" is this?

It means stop bothering us and move on.
It's the same as "I hope we can continue as friends"
It means "aap ja sakte hai, namaste"
"Aap Mumbai nahi aa sakte"
Basically it means they will keep it in their database and if a role opens in the future that your resume is a match for they will reach out to you
"on file" is just the old school version of save for later. Back when people kept documents in physical files. Lol.
Apna rasta naapo bhaiyya
It means your resume has been saved ....in the screenshots folder
They’ve included your resume in their applicants database and if you’re relevant for the next role they’re hiring for, they’ll reach out to you. Basically, you just have to move on from that company now and find others.
