Although Amazon has instituted a hiring freeze and layoffs are probably on their way, I went through the loop for a security engineer position at AWS. Before I attended the final interviews, Amazon placed the hiring freeze and called me to ask if I wanted to go ahead or cancel my application. I decided do go ahead Right now I'm waiting for their response and the position I applied to changed from "under consideration" to "no longer under consideration". Thoughts?
Hey guys. I have been applying to Amex for the past 1 year. Tried applying on the portal, through referrals and even hr consultants reached me regarding the roles since I have a relevant profile. But not once have I been shortlisted or called for an interview. What could be the problem?
PS: I have gotten calls from every other company for the same profile but not amex. Can't be a problem with the profile. Seems something dicey which I'm not aware of.American Express

Anyone at Google open to networking? My new role (haven’t started yet) is senior and I want to start building my network in advance so I don’t feel so lost and alone at such a big company when I join!! I love getting to know people! If you’re open to getting to know a Noogler and be part of my network/support system, I’d really love to chat and learn about you/what you do/where your group fits into the big picture.

I got a job through Erika in 2021 when the labor market was hot. She was a recruiting contractor for an agency and she contracted me about a position, which I took. But that was before the days of cattle calls.
I know that right now she just reposts positions she hears about and is not the actual recruiter responsible, so there’s nothing in it for her, as far as I know. She’s not earning any commission and is genuinely trying to help.
Once I was in that job she recruited me for, she was the recruiter I used to hire people for my team. She was always nice and helpful and did her best to bring in good candidates.
But I get you as far as the cattle calls. I’m freelance now (I eventually got laid off from that job she recruited me for) and yeah, I believe a lot of those jobs are not real, or there’s someone already in line for it and publishing it is just a formality. Unfortunately we never know which ones. Even if there’s only 10% actual real jobs of the ones posted, you still have to play roulette if you want to have a chance.
I got a job because a recruiter posted they were looking for creatives. At a solid agency too. I don’t know who you’re talking about but it seems normal to post on linkedin asking for people already in your network and their referrals.

From what I’ve been told, most of the time, those posts don’t even get filled. Project dates shift, someone internally gets it, or worse it’s just a last min feigned effort to gather enough portfolios to justify getting someone a visa (see us dept of labor? We got 200 applicants and none of them were as good as so and so)

Everytime I’ve talked to a recruiter who does this and they actually respond, something happens like either the role changes or the role gets put on hold, or the needs of the client changes etc etc.
Every. Single. Time.
I see her posts and others like them all the time. Seems like they just try to get themselves more reach as opposed to actually helping anyone. Like they just search open jobs and post them in a big list. Is she the one that adds “don’t reach out to me for these positions, I’m just getting them out there”?
Yes I have! It was over 5 years ago she was really helpful.
Feel you though on the vague job reposting links.
