How come a company this big hires completely randomly and sustain.
Satya hand picks them.
So true 🥲😂
Microsoft Recruiting especially the Sourcers are mostly outsourced. They are not incentivized to pick the most matching candidate, that is the incentive for Recruiters. So your best bet is to get internal referrals for multiple positions which gets you at least a few interviews.
Took me 6 years to get hired Started as FTC then moved to FTE Recruitment process sucks...it's better when you have a referral then they also give you the hiring manager's name and you can connect with them on LinkedIn
They toss a coin. Very efficient ☺️
Recruiters are new grad entry level jobs. You’d likely be disappointed to know how little goes into it.
Not true. You’d be shocked to know how experienced they are. And how much money they make.
Lots of recruiters (FTE) were hit hard by layoffs. A few left are overwhelmed and vendor staff are being hired. But MSFT hiring has always been this way from what I have been told. Aggressively searching on linkedin and dm recruiters when they say they are hiring for positions or have someone from the team/org who can contact the hiring manager are few things. In your case, there is a good chance MSFT cant come close to your compensation. That might also be a reason. I dont see a lot of ex Googlers and Meta around me personally unless they are Principal+
This guy is Satya’s right hand. He knows everything at Msft.
Another thing to add, there are a lot more applicants than before.
Anything that implies you're non-White and non-Male goes to the top of the list. MSFT hiring is racist and sexist AF.
I am an indian male. I worked in 2 of the faangs but only got call from msft once and the mf recruiter never followed up again (he was temp btw) I doubt they are biased towards any race but not denying your point completely either. Msft recruitment is a puzzle.
This is so true 😂😂😂. I’ve been getting recruiters from quant firms too left and right, but Microsoft won’t budge even after a referral from a high performer
