"Generally", a furloughed pilot, especially a major airline furloughee, is very low on the list to get hired in a new pilot position for the following reasons (assuming the furloughee is trying to get hired in a pilot position that may be a step back or sideways):

- Unless they are willing to give up their recall rights (most won't), they may leave at any time, possibly not allowing the new airline to recoup their training and employment cost.

- New airline doesn't want to pair the "experienced" furloughee with a potentially less experienced Captain. They are concerned about how the furloughee will feel and act "pulling gear for a kid".

- Perceived, or otherwise, potential for a "bad attitude" from the furloughee.

I remember interviewing several furloughed pilots. We didn't hire one. The company was much more interested in the pilot that saw the position as a step up instead of a step sideways or down.
