I did call with HR last Thursday and said get back to me within 1 week for technical interview with HM. I am waiting.

I saw from blind most Microsoft team has hiring freeze currently, is it right?

  • Got the loop interview done and the AA interview as well last week.. it went well but was told that hiring is being evaluated right now and they will let me know when they have new info.. don't think they are going to do anything before June.. that is when the fiscal quarter/year ends for MSFT..

    Yes, I'm a contractor for msft right now waiting on an offer for a FT internal position. They are on a global, company-wide hiring freeze as of last Tues afternoon. Was only supposed to be 48 hours but they still don't have any direction.

  • Have no perspective to offer from the inside. Job postings were virtually nonexistent when I applied this time last year, then they picked up over the course of the summer. The HM may be waiting to see if they’ll make an exception, but my bets are the position has been closed.

    Somewhat similar boat for a PMT role. Had a call with recruiting about a 1.5 weeks ago and was told HM was next. Finally heard today "we are currently reviewing headcount". Seems odd since by all indicators it felt like an interview was up next.
