Hi,

I am currently interviewing with Amazon for BIE and waiting for the decision on the second phone interview with the Manager and it’s been 2 days (next should be the loop). There was 2 weeks gap between the first and this interview due to the long weekend.

I have heard many instances where they simply mention that the position is filled in the middle of the recruitment process.

If that happens in my case, what can I do to still have a chance at Amazon?
I do not want to go through the process all over again as I’d taken PTOs to do them.

Please let me know your views on this.

Thanks!

    Sometimes this happens during phone screens and sometimes it happens during later interview stages. In the event that this happens the recruiter will shop you around to different teams. You may need more phone screens.

    They will also shop you around if you make it through an on-site with positive overall feedback but maybe you weren’t right for the team. They will find other teams for you to talk to. You may need just another phone screen if you make it through a loop.

      Just for clarification: If you make it through the loop, but not the right fit. Theb interview for another team, do you have just a phone screen or 1 phone screen + loop?

      From what I’ve seen, if you make it through the loop but aren’t the right fit for team you do one or two video calls/phone screen with new team’s hiring manager or member of the team. The only time I’ve seen someone have to go through another entire loop is if they were down leveled by two levels. Like they interviewed for L6 but actually are L4. Reloop at L4. I haven’t seen this if anyone gets down leveled by one level. This is quite common though, down level by one level.

    This is a downside of the whole 2 day/5 day promise. You can have an on-site setup a week after another candidate, and due to 5 day promise to that candidate the spot may be offered to them and filled even before your interview, but the recruiter won’t cancel. The idea is to screen for good people who have transferable skills, not just for the specific role.

    If the team is inclined on you that decision is independent of the role still being available (although obviously a debrief may be biased if all know this).

    Recycling a candidate is highly team dependent, if it’s a near adjacent team who can trust the people on your first loop- they may just extend an offer.

    Others may require a phone screen and full loop again if it’s an entirely different team/recruiter.

    If you have an opportunity to quickly do an on-site after the phone screen you should prioritize this to avoid the risk of it being filled.

    Happened to me for a TPM role where the position was filled after my first phone interview. I was immediately called for an interview with another team that the recruiter had shared my profile with and this time I had to redo 2 new phone screens and finally the full loop.

    Check with your recruiter and good luck!
