We have ongoing needs for both specialized and generalist roles. Balancing recruitment efforts for these different types of positions has been tough. How do you manage and balance hiring for specialized versus generalist roles effectively?

Im not incharge of hiring but as a jobseeker, I can say it is very frustrating to not be able to get an interview after throwing 200 applications in the span of 3 months. It is not fair that I spend about 5 minutes in reading before clicking apply and then spend about 10 minutes in filling out the forms and submitting my resume and cover letter. Only to get the automated message! Not to mention I am highly qualified and I only apply on linkedin if I have at least 8/10 matching skills.

How can this be fair for jobseekers?

Do you have advice on how to interview better with Amazon?

My résumé and portfolio are great, and I’ve been asked to interview with Amazon for 4 different teams now. However, it seems like I’m not making it past the first 1:1 interview. 3 out of 4 have resulted in not the right fit for reasons unknown; they don’t provide any feedback either. I have been invited for a new interview today with another team, and I am hoping 4th time is the charm. Any tips on how to do better next time?

I’m reviewing my resume getting ready to start my job search and have a question for recruiters, hiring managers. I’m looking for a role brand-side not agency side. Specialist roles aside, such as digital, when you see someone describing themselves as a “generalist marketer” is this a resume you’d pass on? My past roles have been such that I do a lot of marketing projects, tasks etc. but I’m not a specialist. I’m worried if I use this terminology I won’t even be considered for a role. Thank you

Dear Amdocs Hiring Team, Thanks for the worst experience. You guys took almost 2 months for hiring process, asked for all the documents, even shared the CTC breakup over email and at last after multiple follow ups over calls and emails, you replied by stating that "Unfortunately , we are not moving ahead with your candidature at moment." When I asked the reason, you are clueless till now what to say? You guys even don't have enough courage to respond my calls. #Amdocs #Hiring
