Did the first rejection letter say "good bye & get lost" or was it a generic we'll keep your resume on file for future consideration? If the latter, maybe they did reconsider you for another position but again found you not the best candidate and rejected you for that position as well.
If so......why not extend the offer of an interview?
The best are the federal jobs I get rejections from like 2 or 3 years later. I mean, I am pretty sure at that point that a) I had figured out I had not gotten the job and b) had forgotten I had ever applied for the job in the first place. At first I get confused wondering if I recently applied to such a job, but then realize that someone must have done some sort of audit telling them they have to send out rejection letters for apparently the past 5 years of applications...
I try to keep my account "cleaned up"so I'll call the hiring manager on old jobs so I can archive the job. Once I called on a job that was probably a year old and was told the position hadn't been filled. I kind of stopped caring after that.
OP if you use an agency or job site it's common for the site to notify you and the (not) hiring organization to also notify.

I closed my accounts on ZipRecruiter, Indeed and LinkedIn. I expect my new job will be my last employer until I retire in 3 years. That is my goal, in fact.
I don't really mind the rejection notices, especially since they often sound rather comical.
It's those few jobs that seemed to stand above the others, and have some potential, and I never hear back from them. That scenario tends to get me. Hope + silence.
Companies take too damn long to hire these days. This is why I continuously state that unemployment compensation needs to be extended to 52 weeks. By the time they hire you and you go through the process, it can be two-three months before you start. THEN, you have to wait for them to pay you. I've known people in situations where they could not afford to get to work and had to borrow money from friends/family. It's embarrassing for them!
And while I'm on this topic, why can't companies pay you the first week that you are there? You've worked; therefore, you should be paid for the time you already put in. I could never understand this delayed pay.

For me hospitals and govt jobs have been the worst/slowest at getting back. Like getting a rejection 6-7 months after you applied for that clerical position at a hospital. Applying for a nursing position and you have experience, you would probably get called back the day after you applied. Applying for some low level clerical position, yeah the hospital well get back to you after 6 months.
It's a lose-lose situation for employers. Say or do nothing, and they are terrible beings. Yet send something to reject an applicant, and they are still terrible beings.
I disagree. I get closure if a rejection email is prompt and timely (within 2 weeks) but I don't care for a rejection email if its 2-3 months later.
Granted, the auto generated email "thanks for applying, we will reach out if you are a good fit" is better than nothing, but some companies don't even have that.
