Years back I posted saying my local team was hiring (at Amazon) and mentioned we hire interns. Got 20 resumes from students looking for internships, 6 of whom got hired.
When I submitted them to the recruiting, I made it clear these weren't personal references, nobody I knew. But the recruiter filed them that way anyways, so I got like $500 bonus per intern hire. A nice $3,000 bonus for a HN post and funneling some resumes over to a recruiter.
None of the full time resumes went anywhere, sadly- they're worth considerably higher bonuses.
- kakaorka 8y agoAre you guys hiring now? I would love to do an internship or apply for a full time role at amazon.
- mabbo 8y agoIntermships are for students only. If you're done your education, you apply as a full-time SDE. But there's lots of hiring of those going on too. Ping me at <my hackernews alias>@ <the company we're talking about>. Happy to help you find a role that's hiring. So many offices in so many cities doing so many things O_O
- abhishekjha 8y agoIs it US only?
- mabbo 8y agoAmazon's got offices everywhere. http://amazon.jobs http://amazon.jobs lists everything hiring- 9000 roles under "software development" and you can filter by city.
- abhishekjha 8y agoSomehow I haven't got response to a single application I have applied to in past few months. The official portal seems to receive a lot of attention thus signal getting lost in the noise. Or maybe I am not upto the task for which they should mark my application not suitable. is it possible to send resumes to recruiters directly in a given zone?
