I first applied to Tesla over a year ago and was contacted for an initial phone screen. The call was a pretty basic initial screen and the recruiter told me to follow up if I was interested in continuing. I sent an email that night but didn't hear back. Followed up again about a week later and was told they weren't going to be able to move forward with me at that time. Fast forward to 6 months later, the same recruiter reaches out to me and asks to talk again. We have an initial call but this time I wasn't ready to move forward as I'd recently started a new position. Another 6 months pass and I'm contacted again by the same recruiter. I decide to move forward this time and am passed along to another person on the recruiting team. It was another basic call but it went well and another phone screen was scheduled a week later. This screen was much more in depth and I was asked a lot of questions about the types of positions I've recruited for and the volume of candidates I'm used to working with. I followed up after this call more than once but never heard from them again.
