How does Advertising Agency work these days with their hiring system? One day the HR contacts you saying you can be a great fit for a position, 5 days later the HR tell you that it won’t work this time with no explanation.

Hiring manager reviewed your resume and didn't select you for interviews.

PwC 🐠, I interviewed with the firm about 6 months ago for a Senior Associate position on the forensics team. I wasn’t extended an offer because the position was given to an internal transfer, at least what I was told. I tried reaching out to the recruiter I worked with last time but the email bounced back and wouldn’t be delivered. I was hoping to see / reapply if the group still was looking for seniors.

In your opinion, would it be best to reapply as a cold application?
