When someone calls your previous places of employment, what can they legally ask? I was told they can verify length of employment. I’ve heard they can or can’t ask if they would hire you back, I was told they cannot ask your previous salary. Does anyone know the facts?

Should I reapply to a job that was just reposted?

I interviewed with a company a couple months ago and made it to the final round but no offer. I asked for feedback but wasn't given any.

"Unfortunately, we’ve decided to go in another direction at this time. However, if things change, we’ll be sure to reach back out."

A recruiter reached out to me yesterday for the same exact role. I've since added a few skills to my resume (even though I was a perfect match skill-wise the first time).
