I was told after my rejection on the phone, that I was applicable, due to strong performance, to be admitted in the "keep in touch program" and that after 3 months I would only do interviews again.
Cooldown has passed, I sent email to the recruiter, but no answer as of yet . Do I have to reapply from zero? Does anyone know the process?
My weakness was PEI, so they said they gave me time to improve my preparation and re I reviewed with them?
Hi Niko,
The “keep in touch” outcome is generally positive and usually means you don’t need to restart completely from zero, but the process is still recruiter-led rather than automatic. In most cases, candidates are reactivated by the recruiter once the agreed cooldown or development period has passed, rather than submitting a brand-new application online.
That said, things can move slowly, and recruiters manage many candidates. If you haven’t heard back yet, it doesn’t mean the option is gone. It’s reasonable to send a polite follow-up after a couple of weeks, briefly reiterating that the cooldown has passed, that you’ve worked specifically on your PEI weakness, and that you’re keen to re-enter interviews as discussed.
If you don’t get a response after one or two follow-ups, you may eventually be asked to reapply formally, but even then your previous strong performance and “keep in touch” status are typically visible internally. The interviews would usually focus again on PEI, as that was the identified gap.
The key is to be proactive but patient, and to clearly signal that you’ve addressed the feedback - happy to help!
Best,
Evelina
Hey Nikos!
That's a positive sign!
Let me know if you want to practice PEI! That is a quick fix!
