Hi there!

They are recruiting at the moment. Recruiting cycles also depend on roles, so my advice would be to reach out to the recruiter and ask them what is the timeline for the role that you'd be suitable for. 

And yes, OW, like all other firms, impose a one year ban on reapplying once they've rejected you to give you a chance to improve your profile in the meantime. 

My recommendation would be to apply to broadly in the region, especially considering that screening is rather tough at the moment. Here is a guide you can go through to develop an application strategy:
