Second chance at big company after prior rejection: potential for streamlined hiring

The recruiter's direct invitation for a recorded video interview for a new role in the same department, after you were a 'close call' for a previous position, strongly suggests they view you as a strong candidate. This process likely bypasses initial screening steps, indicating continued interest and a fast-tracked consideration. Focus on tailoring your interview answers to the new role's specifics while leveraging your prior interview experience to demonstrate a deep understanding of the department and company culture.
