The answer is in FAR61.39(b):

(1) Is employed as a flight crewmember by a certificate holder under part 121, 125, or 135 of this chapter at the time of the practical test and has satisfactorily accomplished that operator's approved—
(i) Pilot in command aircraft qualification training program that is appropriate to the certificate and rating sought; and
(ii) Qualification training requirements appropriate to the certificate and rating sought
So your results can be expired (and they could have already been expired when you started your employment), as long as you are employed at a 121 carrier at the time of the checkride, and go through the employer's approved training program.
