The odds of somebody who was interested 6 months ago to be interested today are much larger than the ones of any random person. And you already have their contact, and already made some kind of screening.
The amount of malice people go out of their way to put on other people's acts is incredible. Nobody cares about you enough to be out to get you. If you don't want the job, just say it.
Companies absolutely care about their bottom line. I never said this was a personal attack - in fact it's deeply impersonal. And of course they're more likely to be interested if they haven't found work yet, that's exactly my point.
