Actual recruiter here- yes you can be hired back.
Everyone knows how the performance evals work. Managers have a certain level of ratings they can assign and will find any excuse to IM.
Recruiters can also see your evals. All of it, including the comments and your input. Document everything.
Recruiters can also see Manager check ins. Use the employee comment box to respond appropriately.
Recruiters and hiring managers know what game is played. Cultivate your reputation. It will get you farther than the evals.
Other than that- check your official rehire-ability status. Sometimes it will be non-rehire-able because you took more pto than you accrued before the layoff. You'll have to pay it back before you could be eligible for rehire.
