What is going on with hiring at expedia? I have been waiting to schedule my final round interview for weeks now. The recruiter I’ve been working with has been communicative, but all I get is that they will have more info on another hiring event soon. Any insider knowledge or way to speed up this process? #expedia #hiring
Terrible recruiters as usual. Tell them you have other offers and you need to respond to them.
We have hardly any open roles and they are getting filled by contractors and internal candidates in many cases. We haven’t had any multi-team hiring events for several months and when we have it’s been for very niche specific roles and skill sets but not backend generalists.
We’ve been told we’re in a hiring freeze
is this true?
True. Recruiter said the same after I passed interviews.
We are not in a hiring freeze. But they do interview events now instead of individual loops, except for high level roles. So they wait for a group of candidates and have them all interview the same day. There are usually interview events at least a couple of times per month.
Do you know when the next one is or when the last one was?
It depends on the level you are interviewing for. There are a couple of them happening today for early career devs. Mid level devs was 2 weeks ago.
Recruiter told me a lot of positions were put on hold, so not sure if it’s technically a freeze, but there’s definitely something…
yoe?
2 yoe
They cancelled on me right before the interview
I just scheduled an interview for next week. Won’t get my hopes up then
Extremely bad recruiters there. When I was interviewing, the mere mention of TC offered by Bloomberg, made her ghost me. I gave 5 rounds of interview total and 1 round with HR, only for her to ghost me right after listening to my expectations. For fuck's sake, have the courtesy to say that's too high and we can't offer that.
Similar experience, not on pay but ghosted by recruiters at different stages for different roles. Expedia recruiting sucks! If they have been postponing your next steps for a while , I would not pin my hopes to that role anymore
