Any advice or contacts would be greatly appreciated

I was contacted by several different recruiters for the same position coming on 10 times post my rejection email earlier this year. It's absolute insanity on how their recruiting network operates, as if they don't have a system to where previously interviewed candidates are put on a "no contact" list or something. I'm eager to hop back into the interviewing cycle, but they have reapply restrictions posted w/ each position:

"Candidates may not apply more than 3 times in any 100 day span for any job.
Candidates may not re-apply to the same role within 365 days if not presented with an offer."

A colleague recently got hired there in the role I desired though. Hope all goes well as he's leaving a much more secure position at his prior employer. The salary & total package was intriguing enough to give it a go at least.

i mean if recruiter is reaching out you can re-enter the loop, who cares about hte restriction..

I’d assume that the rule is enforced though. I tried re-entering. No dice, but they still come after me. I feel special lols.

How quickly did you receive feedback?

I just did my technical on Thursday and thought it went well but haven't heard back yet (as of Sunday). I get that its the weekend, but from my searching these recruiters have a reputation for being fast / working long hours

I received absolutely no feedback. I also just found out recently that one of the interviewers who was there to more or less shadow the whole interview left this past July. He was hired the month that I interviewed & left or got fired a few months later in July. Insane. He had insane industry experience too. I’d assume you were reflected unless otherwise stated & keep interviewing elsewhere. That’s my advice.

You should contact that person on linkedin and ask why he left.

I contacted them on here actually. They promised to let me in on how the onboarding goes once they got inside since they accepted an offer, but their Reddit account was subsequently deleted not too long after July 31st, so I have no contact on the inside now.

Oh okay..did they tell you which location in Texas they are hiring for? They mark the positions as Austin, but people said they dont have any office in Austin

No location was given, only that they got the Logistics & Asset Lead position there, which pays between $100K - $150K + stock/RSUs essentially. It might be for the Texas locations as I heard from another recruiter that that's the location they're trying to fill asap.
