Microsoft recruiters

Feb 17 18 Comments

What's up with Microsoft career site, I applied 25 jobs so far in last two months and so far not even a single call from the recruiters..
And btw, my resume matches the job posting because I use to do the same work in Microsoft in past and want to go back to Microsoft..

    I’m going through informationals for a referral and have been told recruiting is super behind. The only reason I have an interview for one of the positions I applied for was that the HM liked me and personally tracked down my application.

  • I had applied for more than 50 jobs and never got any call. Even though all of them were through referral.
    Finally it was just pure luck when HM actually reverted to one of the emails my friend had shared with my profile to schedule interview loops..

    I applied for like 25, and got responses on like 4? All led to an interview if not a full loop. None had me talk with a recruiter until after the first interview/screen.

    Most of the others are still pending almost 2.5 months later.

    I think MS just moves slow on a lot of positions. And I think the HM is the one that decides if they are interested in talking at all, not a recruiter.

  • I'm so frustrated with their recruiters. After many applications I have been doing an interview for one position this week and was told the position is going to require budget approval so they aren't sure if they will complete the hire. I was then contacted by another recruiter about a team that is ready to go and then she emails me that she didn't realize I was already working with a recruiter and she will back off. I understand they all want to coordinate and get their credit for hiring but it doesn't help when the first recruiter doesn't know or isn't interested in helping you get hired for a position outside their immediate team for focus.
