Amazon Corporate Hiring

Amazon.com Inc will freeze hiring in its corporate workforce as the e-commerce giant deals with an "unusual macro-economic environment", a company executive said on Thursday.

Amazon is planning to hire 55,000 people for corporate and technology roles globally in the coming months, CEO Andy Jassy said.

A manager at Amazon.com Inc sued the online retailer for discrimination on Monday, saying it hires Black people for lower positions and promotes them more slowly than white workers, and that she was subjected to harassment.

Flipkart said it would sign up more than 50,000 kiranas, or small grocery stores, for last-mile delivery.

Amazon.com on Monday said it is recruiting 100,000 more workers - the fourth hiring spree it has announced for the United States this year - to keep pace with e-commerce demand that jumped during the pandemic

The coronavirus, which has led to more than 7,100 deaths globally and prompted mass lockdowns of people, has also led to items being out of stock on Amazon and some deliveries taking longer than usual.

Amazon is working with local partner Catamaran, founded by IT industrialist Narayana Murthy, and has begun hiring staff for the new operation according to the report.

India is currently the second largest workforce center for Amazon after the US

While cloud computing technologies remain the most popular picks for IT employees, business analytics and machine learning skills are also in high demand by employers, according to Simplilearn Career Data Labs.

Amid surging retail sales, Amazon grew its global headcount by 38 per cent year-on-year in the third quarter of last year.

The e-commerce firm, which competes with the likes of Flipkart and Amazon, has been aggressively hiring talent from the telecom space.

Three positions were open to people in Seattle, two of which also allow applications for Alibaba's Silicon Valley offices, according to advertisements on LinkedIn Corp's business networking site in the past week.

As foreign and domestic e-retail majors such as Amazon and Flipkart expand their businesses aggressively, hiring activities are expected to grow by over 30 per cent in the sector and may help create up to 50,000 jobs in the next 2-3 years.
