I applied for a job and after my interview with the hiring manager, I was rejected. Then after a few weeks, I was notified that a director (not the hiring manager) wants to have a informational conversation with me. Does this happen often? I understand the conversation would not be regarding a specific job, but unsure what to expect.

You might be a good candidate for another job and they are going to pitch you on the role.

Yes, usually when the candidate they offered didn't join.

KPMG style ?

Happens a lot; when I’m hiring and a candidate doesn’t fit what I’m looking for but I believe would be great for the firm but in another group; I give them the resume for their consideration.

Which company, if you don’t mind sharing?
