A Netflix recruiter reached out to me via email a few weeks after I submitted my resume and said she was interested in chatting about a role with the company. A couple days after booking a time on her calendar (but before we chatted) she emailed me again saying that the team is going through "headcount planning" and is "pausing hiring in the meantime". Did another candidate fill the potential role or is Netflix actually pausing hiring? Not a great look for Netflix to say they are interested then a few days later say they aren't before even talking with me.
Happens all the time. Whether they are still headcount planning or if they hired someone else (more likely), this is fine for Netflix to do. "Not a great look" on you for getting butt hurt about it. There is literally nothing personal about not moving you forward in process if you never spoke to the team
Relax little boy
The guy answered your question honestly and you respond with rElAx lItTle boY. The guy is right - you get Butt hurt easy
Most big tech companies have run out of last years headcount and are going through headcount planning for this year right now. so they have to slow down hiring until they understand what headcount will look like for the year. Doesn’t make much sense to interview/hire people when you don’t what roles you are hiring them into.
Netflix is down 20%, must be tightening their belts.
They are confused people last year I made it for onsite rounds then they said position is at hold for a moment. They didn't reach out nor I cared much.
Should resolve most likely or they found an internal person. Late q1 is usually when the hiring frenzy begins
I went through all the stages of the interviews for a software engineering role and was expecting a call to either give me an offer or rejection. The recruiter called to tell me my feedback was strong but the team I was interviewing for is waiting to see how things go with the hires they’ve already made before extending any more offers, and if it would be okay if they reached out to me again in the future. So at least within the group I was being considered there is a pause right now if they’re being honest with me.
