The re-engagement math

A recruiter who didn't hire you 9 months ago may now have a different role open, a different hiring manager, or simply a refreshed opinion of you. Re-engagement emails sent 6-12 months after a no convert at 8-12% reply rates, per recruiter-published data — much higher than a fresh cold outreach. The trick: bring new context (something you've done since), not the same ask.
