Is “we’re not hiring right now but I’ll definitely keep you in mind for when we are!” Recruiter code for “you suck”?

Nope. Code for "we're not hiring right now, send your book again when we are because we have hundreds of them sent every month and I'll forget about yours when we have a spot unless you remind me." But not too often.

👆👌 Or "You're awesome at CPG but we're looking for a car person and we were considering you, but this car candidate just showed up and it would be stupid to say no to him/her even if you're great." Reach back out after a while, show them you're hungry! Once a guy i interviewed reached out to me again 2 years later at the right time and i hired him for a job. I had forgotten his name and lost his email. Keep it up!

It is the equivalent of a guy/girl you like saying they just want to be friends.

👆🏻 it's just timing, but they won't keep you in mind, because they usually don't have the time. So you need to follow up with them as you put new stuff in your book. As you make new stuff, send it their way.

No, I've heard actually that's really common and as soon as there is new biz you'll get a call

The fact that a recruiter emailed you is a good sign and they probably aren’t actually hiring or found someone else they want more. Keep trying them over time.

No. You would be kept in mind for the right projects if you're good
