I don't see the harm. Either this was following Amazon's standard practices or it wasn't. This SHOULD be the subject of ridicule! No one is saying hunt the guy down and dox him over it. If this is against Amazon's standard practices and they let the recruiter go its because of THAT not because some senior person decided to share it. You can't expect secrecy if your doing a cold approach.
This is exactly the kind of incident that helps bring recruiters back to reality. Getting dozens of cold approaches about roles that are obviously not a good fit if someone spent 5 minutes researching can be infuriating (or even knew what they were recruiting for).
- CoffeeOnWrite 5y agoBecause the power imbalance between CTO of one of the biggest cloud platforms in the world, and a rank and file recruiter. It’s a bad look, to those of us that care. Punch up not down. Probably was a win for Microsoft Azure and its CTO though, with all the viral mindshare
- p0rkbelly 5y agoI think there would be less harm if the possibly identifying information about the recruiter was left out. Everyone in Amazon recruiting is going to be made aware of this now, and this individual is being called out. Usually performance coaching is done privately, but, now the entire org will know "NN" is this person and I'm sure it's embarrassing.
