When previous applicants have been interviewed and are unsuccessful, the company states previous applicants do not apply.

Why interview if the people weren’t good enough!

WHAT DOES THIS REALLY MEAN?

Thanks

It seems pretty obvious to me. If you applied for the job previously, and were unsuccessful, don't apply again. Many job adverts will receive dozens, if not hundreds, of applicants. The last thing they need to be doing is trying to sift out the dross from previous interviews.

How long does it apply for, the same position or are we talking all future roles as well? If the same position then fair enough, it's a waste of everyone's time to reapply.

However if it's two years after the previous interview then that person could have improved drastically in that time. For the record I've never seen this on a job advert.

I've only ever seen it used when the same position was still to be filled.

I reckon the OP has misinterpreted as 'do not need to appy', meaning they'll be fast tracked to interview stage.
