Not rejected as per say, but about 12 months ago I applied for a role in Intercom. Strangest, downright oddest interview shuttle bus I've ever hopped on.
First up was a screener with one non technical recruiter, final question of the interview was something like "would you be open to other roles too?". I said sure, but I was mainly interested in the role I applied for.
End up moving to the next stage with a technical interview, same question at the end of that.
Third interview was with someone else for a completely different role. I asked what about the first role and the recruiter put me back on a screener with the same non technical guy I had talked with the previous week.
This guy then said they'd filled the other role I didn't initially want, that the role I had originally applied for was still open but if I'd consider other roles again. I responded that I'd actually like to try for, you know, the role I'd actually applied for in the first place. Recruiter says sure...
Then silence, haven't heard from them in about a year.

- sly010 3y agoSounds about right. Hiring pipeline is probably too long to guarantee anything, but most people don't work out, so recruiters want to keep good leads in the pipeline as long as possible, just in case something comes up. Never attribute to malice that you can attribute to (in this case organizational) incompetence.
