Can someone explain to me why there’s a one year policy on applying to an agency? Like if I applied on my own and then 6 months later a new position opens up and I apply through a headhunter, what does it matter? Especially now.

Say you didn’t apply on your own. I applied to one agency multiple times over the course of a year but never got a response b/c the in-house agency recruiter was too swamped to open the email.

I then applied thru a 3rd party and landed the gig at that same agency which lasted 1.5 years.

Some recruiter in Accenture lined me up for an interview for a role which was not in my skillset ( by saying that this is just an evaluation exercise and they will map me to the right role) and obviously I got rejected. Now I see that I am not eligible to apply the role which I was targeting for the next 6 months. Any idea how can I get this escalated so that the recruiter ( Accenture employee) should at least be careful in future before fooling a noob like me?
