If you ever contemplated working at the tech giant Amazon, you would have heard of their rigorous “loop” recruitment process. Even if you haven’t, this episode is a worthwhile listen for any jobseeker today. An executive coach and talent acquisition director, Eric Hudson joined us for an insightful chat about his journey, in which he has coached, managed and placed thousands of individuals for six-figure and seven-figure level positions. Eric started his career recruiting pilots and pivoted into one of his coolest and craziest rides at Amazon, where he spent 10 years and earned the coveted role of “bar raiser”. When he left Amazon, he was more tenured than 98.7% of the company. In our conversation, we talk about:
