Hey,

So I applied for a position with the Twitch Prime team in November, and got an auto rejection from their ATS. I now have an Amazon employee who wants to give me a referral for that role, but they can't because I already applied. Any of you know what the cooldown period is for automatic rejections like this?

Thx.

    So, for that specific job ID I'm permanently blocked, period? It looks like the other post is suggesting that I can try with a referral after 6 months, so I just want to make sure I know my options. Thanks for helping me out, btw.

      Okay, totally understood. Thank you again for that info, much appreciated.

      My 6 months will be up in a week, so I will try that employee referral at that time and see what happens. I re-tooled my resume to ensure that my qualifications are properly on display, so I'm ready to try again.

      Latest update. Did interview loop, got offer, accepted offer, I start in the middle of August.

      I knew I was qualified for the role, I was just not able to get my resume past the ATS to get some visibility. Once I got the employee referral that helped tremendously. Thanks again for the help.

    Two questions/situations you are confusing.

    You can not be referred to a role after you applied for a position for 6 months.

    Your automatic rejection has nothing to do with the referral and there is no cooldown on applications.

    Find more info on cooldowns by searching for - Amazon cool down master.

    I'm in a "similar" boat.

    I went on-site last August for a Solutions Architect role. Was told I was "Amazonian" but was rejected for that role but encouraged to apply to other roles.

    I applied for TAM roles and was immediately rejected.

    Waited 6 months, applied for the Solutions Architect role again, and was immediately rejected.

    In six months I'll try and get an employee referral and see what happens. If i get immeidately rejected again, then I'm done ha

      You're in a different boat. OP discussed recycle from application.

      You were recycled/rejected at on-site which has different guidelines.

      Your profile has feedback and notes whereas OP's doesnt. You can get the referral but recruiters will review previous interview notes before deciding whether to move forward or not.

    I see. Unfortunately I dont have the option of withdrawing from that position. Am I effectively permanently blocked from re-applying? That would be a bummer if that's the case, especially since I have a referral now (and a solid one at that).

      You are blocked for this specific position with specific job ID. You are free to apply to any number of others. As Amazon cleared out in next post you can be blocked for 6 months only if you screw up your loop interview
