A hiring manager may decide to repost the job because the company is adjusting their preferences for the role or they may be seeking a candidate who better meets their qualifications. If they don’t have enough candidates applying to the role, they may repost it regularly to ensure it’s seen by more candidates.
Should you apply for a job you already interviewed for?
You were eliminated during the interview process. If you previously interviewed for the role, were rejected, and the job requirements have not changed since the position was reposted, there’s no point in applying again.

Yes, you should absolutely apply for the role again. There are so many factors as to why you didn’t get the job or interview. By the time you applied they might have already been in the final stages of the interview with their ideal candidate but then the candidate backed out.
