Amazon bot posed as a technical recruiter on LinkedIn. I sent it a captcha, see comment.

    @saintograph I will not be so quick to rule it out as a bot, because:

    1. Recruiters often ghost after sending such standard copy/pasted messages. I have been often reached out for product designer as well as project manager roles.

    2. Recruiters themselves function mechanically, scanning profiles for keywords and they are no less than a robot.

    I visited the profile; one job, one cert without any other identifying information. Also, I didn't mention experience with Amazon products anywhere on my profile which the 'recruiter' mentioned.

    Amazon's job listings are openly available, unlike Google's.

    However, if I got it wrong....oops?

    @saintograph I am not saying that your claim is flase.

    Just that the recruiters are equally dumb, rather I find bots these days more intelligent than recruiters. Lol

    taking advantage of the topic: would you work at Amazon? what is said about them in terms of developer? (Noob question, because I'm a Noob)

    @Paps never would I work for Amazon. I also have a heavy suspicion for employees who have worked there, making it harder for them to find work elsewhere. Amazon has a way of convincing you into their leadership principles that don’t work outside of their own walls. I’ve met several former Amazonions that have trouble adapting to “regular work” again.

    @devphobe Thanks for the answer. Amazon doesn't have a good fame, no doubt...

    @saintograph I can’t imagine why they haven’t responded! You are a shoo in for the VP of Cheekiness
