I found so many job postings for various positions in sales at Amazon I have applied to them on LinkedIn. But Amazon never responds to any of my applications. I have 6+ yoe worked with big companies like Nestle, Reckitt and now at Allergan. I am a well seasoned Sales professional. Can someone help me out with the hiring process ?Amazon Amazon India
Got an interview request from Amazon for Sr. Digital Marketing Manager. I have been interviewed by and worked for multiple big names like Mcafee, Meta, Microsoft but never by Amazon. I’m wondering how’s their hiring process, what kind of questions and tasks are waiting for me, how many steps are there etc.
Thank you in advance, everyone!

Job market is slow right now and people have been taking off. Going to be a little while.
Every job I have had has been direct applying. The recruiters that contact me seem to make the process long and drawn out. Generally, I am not even look when I entertain them but I don’t want to waste my time with months of back and forth.
Just got a new job and had very little luck with direct applications. It did help to directly message the company’s recruiter or try to find a connection. But had better luck with recruiters.
You gotta hit up LinkedIn corporate recruiters these days. I did get Tesla, Visa and Dolby to get back to me by direct applying but that was the minority. I was ghosted by most.
I outline my LinkedIn communication and outreach strategy in the No Flux Given playbook if you want to check it out in my profile.
I'm an in-house recruiter for a large local PA firm. Direct applications are the quickest for our firm! However, I do see 3rd party recruiting agencies and larger companies take much longer. Our hires usually happen in 1-2 weeks when someone directly applies or reaches out to me expressing interest. Wishing you the best!
Yes, I did get interviews and an offer via direct applying.
