For mid-level and junior positions, it usually isn't worth it - we typically get so many applicants that we just grab the next batch of resumes and sift through it, rather than go back and try to remember who was close and who wasn't. It's also why we rarely revise our requirements for these jobs - there's almost always more applicants to consider.
