I get a ton! And it’s frustrating because I wouldn’t pass the crazy white board interviews (hazing). If they really wanted to hire all these people why not have a better interview process?
I get emails from Amazon recruiters; I work at Amazon.

I told an Amazon recruiter they have to tell me the compensation of the position (I live in a state with such a law[1]) and they stopped replying after that. I still don't know the compensation. [1] https://www.cnbc.com/2022/01/12/states-and-cities-where-empl...
I have no idea why they're so hesitant to tell you the compensation. That has to come up sometime, and early filters are better at not wasting everyone's time.
1) Because the pay is low and they want to either i) show the employer they can bring possible candidates (if recruiter) or ii) try and talk you in via other benefits.
2) They dont want to publicise the pay to other staff especially if staff are under market rate.
3) They have a big range and they dont want to show their hand if they bring someone in more aligned to the bottom end.
Generally I think its number one and wasting peoples time not saying.
My weirdest Amazon recruiter experience has been receiving an email in the middle of an onsite Amazon interview asking if I would be interested in interviewing at Amazon.

Should have stopped the onsite and started over!

Another rejected me via email several days after sending me the offer letter. I didn't notice the email until I quit that job two years later.

But it seems companies would also want recruiters to test the acceptability of the position to the candidate (to avoid wasting their time).
Yup, and I can't seem to stop them. I did go through the interview loop once but stopped right before the final because of comp. They basically pay everyone a cap of ~$150k/year USD, but they'll make up whatever you're losing in base with a tiered sign-on attached to a clawback clause and their famously-high RSU package with their infamous four-year vesting schedule. Not for me. (I make $215k base and am eyeing for m…
