I interviewed with Amazon in 2016 and was rejected. A recruiter reached out to me couple of days ago and I sent her my resume. We had a call, she took some notes and said she'll get back to me in 2 days. Today she sent a mail they're not moving forward with the application. Why would I have to wait for 6 months, since I didn't even interview with them? It was just a recruiter call! Wth? This is the email: "Sorry blah blah blah... Due to company policy Amazon does not provide interview feedback, so unfortunately we are unable to give you any specific details. However, we will certainly keep your resume on file and should another position requiring your skills and experience become available, we will contact you. Also, you are welcome to review the Amazon Careers site and apply in 6 months should you find a position that sparks your interest. You can follow our job openings athttps://www.amazon.jobs/."
There were probably other candidates or it could be a bunch of other reasons. It's not your fault. Brush up and move on. You're most likely not blacklisted unless you reneged on them
Thanks.. so the 6 months rule doesn't apply to me then?
Standard rejection email. I don’t think you are blacklisted. Maybe hiring manager didn’t like your experience.
The 6 months thing seems like a mistake if you didn't even do a technical screen.
6 month cool down only seems to apply to on site; I complete OA with one group at amazon that decided not to move forward and a month later recruiter reached out to me and ended up going on site and getting an offer
6 months is how long your resume remains "on file". As the email says, they'll reach out to you if you match the desired skills (kind of doubt Amazon will) but after 6 months you'd need to re-submit an application and your resume. It also means, you probably shouldn't apply to them for 6 months because you've already been reviewed in that period....
Don't worry. They just copy pasted the standard response. You can reapply immediately
Just ignore. This was a stock reject from a sloppy recruiter. No cool down period if you didn't interview.
Thanks all. I messaged recruiter on LinkedIn and she admitted it was a mistake and I can reapply
You probably shouldn’t give the exact email content. That’s identifiable on their end unless it’s totally canned.
Looks totally canned
