Why I Find Free Palestine Inspiring
Does Amazon rescind verbal job offers the recruiter makes over a phone call? How likely is it to happen?
I’ve never heard such cases.
Haven't seen with Amazon, but have seen it before with Google
What were the circumstances??
Why not immediately get it in writing anyways
This. If it was never written down, it never happened.
Amazon is awful about this. I didn't get my offer letter until the Friday before my start date. I spent a couple weeks worrying about having quit my old job without receiving anything in writing.
A colleague had this experience with Amazon last year in Nov. Gave verbal offer with numbers and everything. A week later rescinded it.
Can happen if the person was negotiating and another qualified candidate accepted in the meanwhile.
Happened to me too
It can happen on limited occasion. Usually because something came to light internally or externally during recruitment or offer process that caused HM to go in another direction. Whether verbal or written, amzn offers, like many, are contingent and not legally binding until you start work.
In such cases, will he be allocated to a different team or altogether rejected for 6 months after which he can interview again?
If the offer is pulled, he should ask sourcer if there is another role or team with a role. If not, he should keep applying to see if another recruiter/sourcer/HM will pick him up. No recycle is 2 years unless the BR approves another interview cycle. Each situation is case by case.
Get it in writing ✍️
Has happened to me. The business got restructured. I got offered a different team though.
Can you share how long the process of finding a different team took?
Took about 2 days. The hr managing my process was a really nice dude and kept me informed throughout.
Amazon is the only company I got an offer from that had a written offer so definitely get it.
