Hey people
Love this stock.
Love it, Love it, Love it. Flying to the moon etc. And all on the back of news flow. Awesome.
But remember that Amazon news? The monster release that kicked this off? It was great. It meant that tens of thousands of employees would be using 1PG. That One Page application game changer. And this was back in March. And as they had that trial/phase 1 thing, then that means now, 4 months later, they'll be rolling it out, and many many (Amazon receives thousands of applications a month) of people will be using this. And then they'll get all those fees, justify the current stratospheric valuation and all will be great!
But just two problems.
First - on none of the Amazon employee recruitment portals can we see anyone having this rolled out. Cant see it on any. Cant see it on any Amazon job site and cant see it talked about by any of the business units who actually hire (heads up - a deal with HR is pointless if business units dont use it. And in Amazon business unit leads call the shots. Every. Singe. Time.) For example:
Global:

UK:
http://amazon-operations.co.uk/search-jobs
Redshift:
http://firstround.com/review/Mechanize-Your-Hiring-Process-to-Make-Better-Decisions/
AWS:

Second - there are thousands of posts online of people who've applied for a job with Amazon and they share their experiences. No one we can find anywhere mentions the 1 Page experience. And we've now spent a long time trying to track down these people. For example:
http://www.glassdoor.com/Interview/...nterview-Questions-EI_IE6036.0,10_KO11,32.htm
http://www.indeed.com/cmp/Amazon.com/reviews?fcountry=US
http://technical.ly/philly/2015/07/23/amazon-job-fair-comcast-brain-drain/
So we're sat here really puzzled. We cant find any Amazon site anywhere that uses the 1PG platform to hire. And we cant find any job applicant who applied using the 1PG platform.
So a question for the faithful: Can you post links to an amazon site that uses the service or an example of any user who's used the 1PG service. We're sure they are out there, we've just not been smart enough to find them.
No need to come back with the usual other stuff (yes, we know, you've got the faith) - just these two.
Laters!
