I applied for a job at google (YouTube) that I thought I was uncannily well matched for and received a boilerplate rejection. That was 2 months ago. The job is still open on their job board. Is it pointless to try again?

    Because recruiters are lazy asses. Did you apply through a referral?

    If you applied through a referral someone looked at your resume either they have a candidate in the process already or you weren't a match or the req is going away

    You are accessed on whether or not you’re a fit for Google as a whole and not for a particular job. The team matching process and whatnot come after you have successfully proven you can fulfill the generic duties of your role for any team in the company.

    I assume there are likely caveats to this at higher level executive positions.
