Amazon sent out a note to staff Wednesday announcing companywide hiring freeze, in an effort to pause new incremental hiring for its corporate workforce. The company said it plans to backfill certain positions and will add staff in targeted areas.
The pause even extends to AWS, the company’s reliable profit center.
Thursday, when Amazon published the memo, more than 9,000 jobs were listed as open at AWS, according to CIO Dive’s review of the job site. Friday afternoon, just over 5,700 jobs were listed, marking an approximate drop of 35% for AWS openings listed on Amazon’s jobs site in approximately 24 hours.
