Interviewed for a few roles recently. I didn't make it past the interviews and the recruiters all said they'd like to "stay in touch." They were mostly T2 firms and Google. Does "stay in touch" ever result in another opportunity? Or are they just being polite?

Just being polite unfortunately.

I’ve had it mean something! It does require you to proactively reach out again though. In both cases, I reached out ~6months to a year later with a short update on myself and got another interview (and landed the job both times)

They said they'd reach out if any roles fit my background/interests

You'll never know. Just keep swinging.

smart

It’s literally their job to stay in touch. When they have a role you could fill, they’ll reach out. But don’t leave it up to them, continue to apply to jobs you see too.

Doesn’t mean anything in my experience.

I got a job at Google after more than 1 rejection and "stay in touch". They reached back out to me for a different role and I got the offer.

In my experience, we do call back folks who we interviewed in the past and did not make the cute for a given role. and we have made offers to them as well. Remember recruiters are measured on hiring,. While you were not selected for a given role, you might be a fit for another role or a similar role in the future or as you mature and gain experience in your field. Staying in contact with recruiters is a good practice

You're thinking to much

I have told this to candidates before as the hiring manager. When I like them.

I think they do mean you’re a viable candidate. Unfortunately, other requisitions and candidates take priority, and their job is to fill roles for the company, not the other way around.

Hey, I received a verbal offer from EY for a role as manager, which was quite a low ball offer. I had received another offer from a different firm and I informed EY HR about it. I was told yesterday that they have an updated offer for me, scheduled the call twice with me but didn't actually call and told me she got occupied in other meetings. I have not got a response from her yet on the mails, should I contact the hiring partner directly? other firm is asking me to update as well.
