Regarding your question, other than the standard "thanks, we'll keep you in mind," I have not received a follow up from an employer wanting to hire me after the fact. Nevertheless, I consider following up after the rejection a necessary step. It'd be like putting together a marketing campaign that flops and failing to learn from your mistakes. Plus, in this situation I viewed myself as a consultant in addition to potential employee. I know my experience in social media would benefit one of the projects the Director is considering launching. So that explains my stronger than usual encouragement to keep communication from ending. In business you have to accept the fact that you might not be the right fit for solving someones present problems, but don't rule out the possibility of being needed in the future. Thanks for your question Dawn, and adding more meaning to this post. Hi Dawn,

I would think they don't want to risk a continued dialogue with a candidate except that they may say we'll keep you in mind for other positions or your resume will remain on file for x time, I'm curious.
