REHIRING
If you wish to return to Kotn after leaving, irrespective of the length of service or time away, a minimum requirement will be participating in at least one formal interview with the direct report of the role you are applying for. This interview will help assess your fit for the position and determine your eligibility for rehire.
In the event that you leave Kotn and later decide to rejoin, please note that your length of service with the company will restart from your rehire date.
