Not sure if this is pertinent but Microsoft has been dealing with an outage today. Maybe a cause?
Would also like to know. I’ve had strong referrals from people who are on the team that’s hiring and still can’t even get an HR screen. Meanwhile, I know atleast 30 people who made the jump from SAP to Microsoft.
I have never gotten a call from HR at Microsoft…. Even with 100-% match and referral
I've only interviewed with Microsoft through a recruiter
It's possible the hiring manager posted with someone specific in mind. Or they got flooded with applicants and only looked at the first x amount of applicants and auto-rejected the rest. My last two hires were in those scenarios.
Or in this market...you just got unlucky. People know the tricks of getting through HR filters, they know to match the resume to the JD (which are mainly generic garbage) and many people use AI to do it. And with layoffs in this industry, you're competing against people with much more experience and/or people coming from other big tech firms.
