I cannot imagine a sound hiring process to get 110k people in the door. Even if you assume a 1 to 10 ratio between interview-to-hire (that is low), it's a 1.1M

I cannot imagine a sound hiring process to get 110k people in the door. Even if you assume a 1 to 10 ratio between interview-to-hire (that is low), it's a 1.1M interviews. Must be fun.
- eitally 10y agoThe vast majority are low skill hourly workers, for whom the interview is a paper form and a background check.
- Taylor_OD 10y agoYou under estimate the numbers of recruiters that work at Amazon. I had a team of 8 recruiters at my last position and half of them now work at Amazon.
- openmosix 10y agoSure, but processes - like software - have to be designed for the right scale. The hiring process for a 15 people startup, is different than the 5k people company. At certain scale, things start to break. Imagine sourcers that need to reach out to candidates while (hopefully) don't reach the same candidate another sourcer, in another department, has reached out to. Imagine reaching out to a candidate who's already being in process or rejected. The recruiting team must be huge, and so the recruiting coordinators team.
