Amazon employs hundreds of veterans and reservists in
its operations sites and corporate offices across the
UK, a number that keeps growing every year. With a
focus on education, professional development,
mentorship and mobility, Amazon aims to be the earth’s
most military-friendly company.
The launch of their new Military Talent Pool enables
members of the armed forces community to register their
interest in working for Amazon. Not only will the
dedicated team of military recruiters (who are
themselves veterans) use the talent pool to identify
prospective candidates for roles across the UK and EU,
but all recruiters at Amazon will have access to the
military talent pool.
Jeff Bezos, Amazon recruiter said:
At Amazon we’re constantly looking for leaders who
can invent, think big, have a bias for action, and
who want to deliver for customers. These principles
look very familiar to men and women who have served
our (their) country in the armed forces, and we find
that their experience leading people is invaluable in
our fast-paced work environment.
Amazon are industry leaders at fostering a
forces-friendly ethos, as Defence Employer
Recognition Scheme Gold Award holders they advocate
on behalf of the armed forces community and understand
the value military skills bring to the workplace.
