Similar story here, I would receive emails/phone calls every half-year inviting me to interview with Google.

My initial question was always "Can I stay here in Scotland?" to which the reply was "You will move to either Ireland, or Switzerland." At that point I said "Please stop calling/emailing me"

At some point they stopped calling/mailing, looking over my email archive it has been ten years+ since I've heard from anybody at Google.

I had a similar thing about a decade or so ago. Thought I might be able to wrangle a (part) remote gig with them. No dice.

There's no way I was going to commute to London every day. Nightmare. They kept coming back to me though.

In my case I think it was more likely a combination of poor process, and a clueless recruiter, rather than a deliberate retargeting of me that resulted in the ongoing calls/emails.
