Hey guys, years ago I was referred to a role at Amazon, and at that time I received the standard email letting me know who referred me and if I was a great fit I could expect to hear back etc etc.

Well, I was referred last week to a role, but I have not yet received any communication from Amazon letting me know that they received it from the employee referring me. Has the notification process changed?

The person who referred me is a close friend, so there’s no reason to think it hasn’t happened. Just found it odd I haven’t been formally notified by their system.

Any insight would be helpful. This is a niche role, and I’m quite excited about it.

Thank you!

  • Yes you receive an email saying you have been referred and the job you were referred for.

      That’s good to know, i have applied in the past, however, I gave the referrer a completely updated resume - would that change the outcome at all? Hopefully they use the new resume and not the one from a few years ago 😬

      I think they will use the new resume. They do not send the email again because they do not consider this as a new referral and so as not to pay referral bonus.

    Last time I referred someone (7-8 months back), they received a notification about the referral and they had to officially apply on the referred job.
    If lets say the candidate already applied for the job separately, they cannot be referred for the exact same jobid. Ask your referrer what message they received in the referral window once they referred.

      Did you apply for the job separately or is the job filled already? Must be one of these 2 cases.

      Anyways, send them a different jobid of the role you are looking for. Usually there would be 100s or 1000s of positions open for a role.

      The job is still open, and I have not applied for it yet. The guy who referred me (on behalf of my friend) emailed about 3 hours ago to let me know he did it. He said I might receive an email in the next few days to verify my info? 🤷🏼‍♂️
