I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Amazon
Interview
The hiring manager seemed irrated to deal with me. He was "told" to call me because I was a referral. We set up a time to do a phone screen and he was 30 minutes late. He made sure to let me know that I was lucky to get this as I was not his choice. This was interesting to me as I was more than qualified for the position and a loyal customer. The interview was odd at best and he did everything in his power to make sure I knew how I would not fit with Amazon. They only wanted to hire "techy" HR people. I happen to have a varied HR background and was just exploring my options because of all the great things I heard about Amazon and I was asked to apply. At the end, he begrudgling stated that I actually had a lot of what they needed and he would move me on. I never heard back. I was a great experience for me since I use it as a training "what not to do during an interview" segment for all of my new managers. Thanks guy, you rocked it! I hope Amazon figures out you are not their kind of guy.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
There was not one. I thought it was pretty basic but I teach this stuff.
Bewerbung & Screening: Meist über das Amazon Jobs Portal. Ein Recruiter prüft den Lebenslauf auf Übereinstimmung mit der Rolle.
Recruiter-Telefonat: Ein ca. 30-minütiges Gespräch über Ihren Hintergrund, Gehaltserwartungen und die Motivation für Amazon.
Assessments (Rollenabhängig): Für HR-Assistenten oder Spezialisten gibt es oft Tests zu Excel-Kenntnissen oder Fallstudien zur Priorisierung.
Hiring Manager Interview: Ein tieferes Gespräch (meist per Video via Amazon Chime) mit dem zukünftigen Vorgesetzten über spezifische HR-Kompetenzen und erste Verhaltensfragen.
Das "Loop" (Finalrunde): Besteht aus 4 bis 6 Einzelgesprächen (jeweils 45–60 Min.) mit verschiedenen Teammitgliedern und Stakeholdern.
Jeder Interviewer prüft 2–3 spezifische Leadership Principles.
Einer der Interviewer ist der "Bar Raiser" – ein speziell geschulter Mitarbeiter außerhalb des Teams, der sicherstellt, dass der Kandidat den Durchschnitt der aktuellen Mitarbeiter in dieser Rolle übertrifft
