You know when you you get through 9 interviews and the recruiter says “it didn’t work out but we will keep your contact info for a future role.” Has anyone ever gotten a job a year or so later from that same recruiter or agency? Or do they actually just throw your resume and interview experience in an endless void of non hires.

Surprisingly, yes. But it was a good hiring manager who remembered me and asked the recruiter to contact me. I got hired about a month after the initial rejection for a different position.

I've had recruiters say that and then hit me up for a new role when they jump to a different shop. It's how Ianded my current gig.

Yeah this is the pits. Nothing ever happens. But you should be parleying this experience into relationships with those involved. Stay in touch with them, unabashedly ask them for referrals and advice, and help them if possible.

To be submissive and offer them help? Are you serious??

Congratulations

Yes, I’ve been offered freelance work by agencies I interviewed with months after not getting the initial role

I feel like they don’t typically reach out again but I have reached out myself to the recruiter when I see relevant openings/big wins announced and they’ve remembered me and it got the ball rolling!

Never.

Has anyone ever asked to renegotiate their salary after starting a job? I’m 2 months into my new job and I have far more responsibilities than what I was told.

My peer has more experience so I expect that but I feel that I should be paid more, however I don’t want to leave a bad impression… any advice?
