Best Wishes from a Hiring Firm [closed]

manpreet Best Answer 3 years ago

The first time I contacted a hiring firm for a job was in 2015.

They did contact me lately for a job I applied to, but they turned my application down (I opted for a very high salary).

These days, they sent me an SMS in which I received best wishes for a religious occasion.

In my country, such hiring firms don't really contact candidates for such reasons. They do contact "candidates" only when they candidate interests them.

Nothing like that happened before, not even with those I completed the hiring process.

Should I consider this SMS as good sign? Am I a particular/noticeable candidate? or is it a mundane drill?

You may or may not be a viable candidate but if they start resorting to such cold calling measures, I can almost guarantee that, their business is not doing too great. Probably they are out of candidates to market and they are reaching out to ones which at least have some potential. So, in MY OPINION, this is some good news for you. But don't get your hopes up too high. There might be another reason their business may have gone down. Which is their incompetence.

There is no way of telling which scenario is more likely. If you have colleagues or friends who used this company or better some inside person that you befriended, invite them to have drink with you. They might divulge some information.
