      Technical Recruiter Interview

      Jan 8, 2013
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Seattle, WA
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA)

      Interview

      Three phone interviews – one onsite, five hour interview “track” with six different people. Pros: solid communications regarding flight arrangements, reasonable reimbursement of expenses incurred during my stay in Seattle, fairly friendly interviewers (some of them), they did reach out and close the loop, yet didn't provide any real feedback *Lame*, great dosage of what the culture is like from hanging out on the Amazon campus, seemed like decent pay for Seattle, the brand name is noteworthy, seemingly cool people, a great place to make the transition to corporate recruiter from an agency environment, a good gig for if you can hang for 5 years and cash in… Cons: some of the folks I met in the interview track were downright arrogant,when I looked up the people that I interviewed with I have to say, I was a little underwhelmed with their backgrounds, endless behavioral questions…explain to me a time when you had to do this….why did you do that…what could you have done differently…by the end of the interview- I just wanted to leave…and was tired of answering the same questions over and over and over again…many of the interviewers hadn't seem my resume before they walked into the interview, asked me lame questions like write a Boolean string (really?), still not sure what type of person they were seeking…if you interview, good luck – be ready for 5 hours of behavioral interview questions…note to Amazon…maybe focus on the individuals accomplishments, check references before passing on someone, I feel my answers may have been misconstrued, but because all the interviewers were in such a rush to get back to their desks, I really didn't have time to clarify any of my answers, it seemed like they could care less about bringing new team members aboard and more focused on preaching how high the hiring bar is….PS: don’t call me on a Sunday to discuss business – if you can’t get work done M-Sat, maybe that should be a sign you guys need hire more administration peeps to assist with the process…not hating, just stating…glad I was given the opportunity to interview…best of luck to both Amazon and peeps who interview.

      Easy interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Amazon (Austin, TX)

      Interview

      Straight to the point. Interviewer has been with Amazon for quite sometime. It baffles me how some Recruiters get jobs at these companies. As a recruiter I could tell right off the bat the interview would end poorly based off the Recruiters tone when he joined.
