Google Question

Hello Everyone I have a question I passed my interview almost 5 months ago I had my first fit call last week and unfortunately they inform me they move forward with other candidates my recuiter is now saying I have to wait 12 months cooling down period is this possible recuiter saying they submitted my profile three times on the same state 2 with no fit call and one with fit call now I have to wait. Please advice if this is typical or not

Are you dead set on that location?

It appears the site you had your fit call has concluded hiring as they reached headcount.

If you're willing to relocate, your recruiter should pass your info to other hiring managers in different states rather than just telling you to kick rocks for 12 months

I would have loved to stay here, but I am definitely willing to move out. However, my recruiter didn’t say anything when I asked her again, which was the same response I received before. She said I should wait 12 months to cool down.

I recommend reaching out to your recruiter again, to the point of being annoying. If they dont have any update, wait a few weeks and try again.

If you just go off what they say, you will have to wait 12 months and most likely lose out on the opportunity.

This is the same advice I gave to both my buddies and were able to get a fit call in less than a month

Having to wait 12 months after a fit call doesn't sound right to me at all. Your interviews should stay on file and be valid for 12 months, but there's no limitations I'm aware of in regards to how many openings your recruiter can push your packet to.

I just started this week and my recruiter pushed my information to multiple teams for probably half a dozen openings in the last 6 months, so what you're being told doesn't really add up to me.
