Amazon is trying to rehire workers it laid off, emails show
Amazon is courting former employees for open roles across the company, including some workers it laid off, recruiter emails show.
Amazon is actively trying to rehire workers it laid off, according to emails obtained by Business Insider. The company is reaching out to former employees, including those who were laid off, about open roles in various departments, including cloud computing and AI. Recruiters are using shorter interview processes to bring back these former workers.
One AI agent organization invited former employees in AI and machine learning to discuss new roles, while another AWS Finance recruiter offered a shortened path back to an offer and asked about the employee's departure, hinting that Amazon's return-to-office policy may have been a factor. Amazon has laid off over 30,000 employees in multiple rounds of layoffs in the past year, making rehiring a significant priority.
