@emily.the.recruiter: Now this isn’t always the case! I literally kept great candidates in a folder so I could reach out to them when I had rolls become available, but a lot of recruiters use this as an excuse #jobsearch #candidates #career
Disagree, I’m a recruiter and when things open up I always reach out to candidates I’ve previously talked to or worked with

I worked in HR and that's not true. If you're talented and you stand out, HR can contact you again if your profile match a position 😏

They actually did contact me 1 month later for a different position that opened in the company not the one I interviewed. They said they really loved me, mind you it was about 15-20 people on that interview panel was so crazyyy.

Except for UPS. They'll call you like 8 months later out of the blue to ask if you're still looking for a job.

I was thinking that too, up to when I got an email for a second interview… I put mandatory no weekends work, no extra time and a certain amount of vacation… and they said no we’ll keep you in file… but they invited me 2 months after for a second round of interviews…

Not true. I’ve had 2 jobs that I applied to when initially they said they will keep me on file…. Few months later they call me and said it didn’t work and want me
