I did that once and it legitimately spurred another outreach from the COO at the time (small company) which then led to me being allowed to make a case for my hiring again and actually led to a job offer. So you never know?

The absolute worst case is that you slightly annoy the HR/TA at the company and they reject you again with a slightly annoyed letter.

Most likely case is that the same garbage AI system that rejected you the first time just rejects you again.

And best-case you get your case heard again and get hired, even if just for the perseverance.

So I don't see why not, an employment relationship is not like personal relationships where "no means no", it's not like you're stalking the company.

Can it be like I'm stalking the company? I mean, if companies are persons now, I wouldn't mind being such a pain in the ass that a company takes out a restraining order on me.

hides in nearby tree waiting for the next applicant so I can karate chop their balls to prevent them from applying

Nobody will get the job except me.

I did it once, the first time they just sent a no email. The sub cond time the hiring manager messaged me on LinkedIn a bit annoyed telling me no again. I looked them up recently as I was recently fired and I don't think that company exists anymore.

I guess you dodged a bullet then!

Maybe the company wouldn’t have died if they hired him!

Once applied for job didn't get it. Months later tenp agency sent me out to the same job. Had that job for 6 years before it closed.
