I don't think these people are recruited in the first place. This is about Amazon on the software side.

- cheeze 5y agoSo, a sizable portion of Indians and Chinese folks? Many Indians have spoken english most of their lives, but definitely tons of Chinese (and other) devs where ESL is a very real thing.
- Zababa 5y agoESL doesn't mean that you can't read or write english. Amazon requiring the devs to be able to read and write english is not really surprising, I would consider it the bare minimum.
