Isn't Netflix an outlier in how they hire/place anyway? They hire for specific positions versus the rest hiring generally then finding a place to put you. (Team matching coming at the end rather than first) I believe Apple works this way as well.
It would explain why I've never been contacted by either. I have no expert level skills in things they're interested in. (I've mostly worked at startups - breadth over depth)
- chris11 7y agoIt maybe different from Facebook and Google, but is hiring for positions on teams that unique? That's how my employer does it. A lot of our public facing job ads are for specific teams. We have a few general public-facing job ads but I think team/group matching is done early in the process for those also.
- jedberg 7y agoThe process starts with a hiring manager reaching out for a position they are trying to fill, but sometimes after the interview we realized someone was amazing but not a fit for our team, so we would refer them to another team. But most companies hire for a specific position. The way Google does it is the outlier.
- why_only_15 7y agoOn my team at Apple it worked this way at well - most teams were in charge of their own interviewing and job offerings were for a particular team.
- pjmlp 7y agoThat is how most companies actually hire.
