She was recruiter hired right at about time when Meta announced hiring freeze. The only lesson here is not that FAANG hires people to do nothing but that Meta was way too slow to layoff 90% of recruiting org probably because it hoped economy/revenues improve and company will resume hiring.
- helen___keller 4y agoWas she a recruiter? It didn’t specify in the article
- Matthias247 4y agoit's in the headline: "staffer"
- wizee 4y agoStaffer means member of staff. For example, engineers are staffers.
- komadori 4y agoThat just means a member of staff.
- Matthias247 4y agoOk sorry. Then it was a misunderstanding of my side as non native speaker. I always assumed it means recruiter since I’ve so far never seen the word used in another context
- komadori 4y agoNo worries :-). To be fair, it does sound, "staff-er", like someone who produces "staff". I've never it used as a reference to recruitment, but perhaps in some contexts it is used that way.
- waych 4y agoThis may also mean "someone who finds staff" aka a sourcer. The person in the article seems to be talking about the placement of others that were sourced through the program they were in.
- jimnotgym 4y agoDoesn't that just mean she was on the staff? I wouldn't understand staffer to mean recruiter. Is it different in the US?
- NonEUCitizen 4y agoIn recent years, "sourcers" are the ones who email / call engineers on behalf of the recruiters. They are part of the recruiting department. Article says: "Levy previously told Insider she was hired on Meta’s Sourcer Development Program, a 12-month program that helps workers from underrepresented groups enter the corporate technology recruiting industry."
- perryh2 4y agoI'm surprised there was a 12-month program to become a sourcer.
- chris11 4y agoIt could make sense. I'm assuming they will be doing actual work during that time. A paid 12 month long apprenticeship would be good for both parties. It's enough time for Meta to decide if they want to hire an employee full time, and a year would give sourcers a decent amount of experience if they wanted to leave.
- waych 4y agoI don't know that this is the case for the lady in the article, but usually recruiters/sourcers at these companies are on contract for 12 months max, due to the hiring company not wanting them to appear as employees and thus not get full benefits.
- Calvin02 4y agoYeah, and that she joined just as the internal demand was probably going down. She was hired in anticipation of a need that didn’t materialize. Kudos to her for “fighting” for work. Most people would be tempted to slack off.
- shagie 4y agoShe was hired last April on a 12 month contract (recruiters tend to be LTE rather than FTE) and Meta claimed that the hiring program was fully funded. From a different article ( https://wapo.st/3lmVr6w https://wapo.st/3lmVr6w ): > Levy, who is Mexican American, agreed to start the 12-month gig in April after she checked with Meta that her position would be secure for the duration of the program despite the company’s financial challenges. She was told that the program, which aimed to improve the pipeline of recruiters who focus on diversity, was fully funded for the year.
- solarmist 4y agoLTE? I feel like that’s the wrong acronym.
