"Not Considered due to Area of Consideration Requirements" UPDATE "Not Considered due to Area of Consideration Requirements" UPDATE

After weeks, I finally got a response from the recruiter, and it turns out it WAS a mistake. They had notes on my application that I was SUPERIORLY qualified for the job and I'd tested in the highest score range in the assessments. He thanked me multiple times for being persistent because "someone clearly just hit a wrong button somewhere" to classify me as ineligible. He shot my application straight to the hiring managers.

Moral of the story is, do your research, make sure your bases are covered and then stand UP for your candidacy. Also, they have got to develop a better system to safeguard against these incidents. With so many sharp & talented people applying for these positions, we deserve a fair shot instead of being dismissed by a simple wrong click of a button.
