Amazon's interview process for talent acquisition roles typically combines recruiter screening calls with behavioral interviews grounded in Amazon's Leadership Principles. For entry-level positions, expect initial recruiter assessments of background and motivation, followed by phone/video interviews focusing on core TA competencies (sourcing, screening, process management, stakeholder communication), and behavioral questions assessing Amazon's Leadership Principles such as 'Customer Obsession' (candidate focus), 'Ownership,' 'Bias for Action,' and 'Learn and Be Curious.' Interviews emphasize demonstrating understanding of recruitment fundamentals, problem-solving in hiring scenarios, and alignment with Amazon's culture.
