Is Spotify on a hiring freeze? A recruiter contacted me last week for an initial phone interview and told me she would get back to me this week but I’ve not heard back. #spotify
No hiring freeze. Just lazy-ass recruiters...or a shitty process
So true especially in this current climate we’re in. Taking everything day by day. Thanks for the reply!
Hey does Spotify use slack?
Hiring was cut/slowed but not frozen. Posted jobs should still represent open positions afaik. Recruiters aren't really our strong suit and we get a lotta apps
Thanks for the reply! I’m just going to have to be patient. Just keeping my fingers crossed I’m still being considered.
No hiring freeze, but we did have some headcount pulled back.
Thanks for the info! Keeping positive I’m still in the running.
To put it in perspective, it took them 4-5 weeks to get back to me a few years ago after initial hiring mgr rounds. Hopefully they have improved since then!
Ahh good to know lol. Thanks for replying. I’ll just have to be patient if they have a slow process.
From today's q1 earnings letter (https://investors.spotify.com/files/doc_financials/2020/q1/Shareholder-Letter-Q1-2020-Final.pdf): "we have taken steps to slow hiring for the remaining three quarters of 2020 and have reduced open headcount by roughly 30% from prior growth expectations."
This information was very helpful. Thanks for this.
Our recruiting team is really slow.
Thanks for the response. This seems to be the consensus amongst your fellow Spotifyers.
How does Spotify compare to other companies in terms of TC in NYC ?
Is there any Bay Area opening?
I interviewed 4 weeks ago. Recruiter just emailed me 8 days ago saying "Congratulations we want to invite you to our virtual onsite" and I haven't heard back in 8 days lol. Spotify is "slowing things down" at best
This was helpful. The recruiter finally got back to me on Friday and told me they should know the next steps early this week. We shall see 🤞🏼 I hope you hear back soon with an offer.
Here's an update. My recruiter's email no longer exists....the coordinator's email seems to still exist though 😂
spotify is my dream company to work at. Big fan of the product. The music I found there changed my life
It’s only Tuesday. Give the recruiter time, they are all swamped
You’re right. Confidence has just been down lately with getting laid off and all. Thanks!
You got this! Keep your head up.
