Does anybody have any experience with the Facebook recruiting process? Post a referral for a program manager role, I just had a coordinator contact me and say they won’t count any of my time as a military officer towards the minimum YoE for “people leadership.”

Has anybody found a veteran specific hiring team at Facebook or are there particular divisions more open to hiring veterans with limited post military experience? Thanks!

This is not true based off of friends at FB. I would definitely try to find a veteran recruiter.

Thanks. So far I haven’t found a veteran specific recruiter there, but I’ll ask.

Boo facebook. That’s lame. Good luck OP.

Yeah 100% not true. They have a strong Vets@FB group the advocates for hiring and internal development of veterans and there are some fairly senior veterans in the org. Coordinators are typically fairly early career and don’t have a ton of context and are likely going off of a strict reading of what are supposed to be example indicators of candidates having the right experience. Connect with vets you know there and ask for a referral so they’ll point you to the right team. Their data center group has hired a TON of vets if that sort of thing is interesting to you.

That being said, I’m making an assumption here that you actually lead troops and weren’t like a contracting officer with no directs and reporting to a civilian as your manager (nothing wrong with that if it’s the case, I’d just understand why they might not credit that)

Probably because they think masculinity is toxic. I miss leading a platoon

They dont count hardcore people leadership leadership in the military as people leadership experience? Wtf?
