The term for a person who "re-joins" an organisation
I'm looking for a term (or terms) to describe a person who leaves a group (or organisation), and then later re-joins.
Something like a "re-joiner" perhaps?
For example, a "leaver" is someone who leaves or has left, and an "onboarder" or "inductee" may describe a new-starter. My language is British English, but it doesn't really matter.
Example sentence as per the comments, "Mr ABC is a _____; he left in February but returned back in May". Or, the actual usage in my own field:
Person A: "Is he a new starter or a leaver?"
Person B: "No, he's a _____; he left, then came back two months later"
Solution 1:
As suggested by @Fumblefingers, returnee may work. It certainly fits your context.
M-W:
returnee: someone who returns to a place or activity
Your example:
Person A: "Is he a new starter or a leaver?"
Person B: "No, he's a returnee; he left, then came back two months later."
You could also consider comebacker (or come-backer or come backer). It might work for your purposes. I can imagine describing so and so as a comebacker.
Solution 2:
That would be a
readmitted
or a
readmitee on a legal context.
Solution 3:
Reentrant
I had seen it used to describe reentering college students. But the Oxford Dictionary says
2 A person who has re-entered something, especially the labor force.
