I did the google recruiter phone interview, but got told the team has paused hiring for the role. Is this a nice way of saying I didn't pass the round? If it's not, can I reach out to the recruiter when I see any role that match my experiences? The recruiter also did mention they will look for similar roles to move me forward with another team.
