> The internal note said Amazon is making the change because of the "pipeline" of candidates available through student programs, but the memo nor Amazon's spokesperson clarified why the company believes campus hires are better than experienced industry candidates for entry-level positions.
> "For the foreseeable future, we are prioritizing ready-to-place candidates through Student Programs," the memo said.
I think what they are saying is its easier to recruit students as there is a pipeline but it's harder to find experienced people who would accept entry level comp at Amazon so they aren't going to bother. It's not that they think they are better, just easier to get.
