What is an Amazon Bar Raiser? There are more than 3,600 Bar Raisers at Amazon—a population that's expanding and diversifying over time—who volunteer their time to contribute to the interview process. There are bar raisers from teams across the company, in roles ranging from product managers, software development engineers, human resources, marketing specialists, and everything in between. Bar Raisers capture a holistic, data-driven picture of each candidate, helping to eliminate bias and ensure that hiring managers identify the strongest candidates. Bar Raisers facilitate debrief conversations to ensure data-driven conversations, and to guide the panel of interviewers. Interviewers provide their insights, on whether the candidate is the best hire for the company and role, to the bar raiser and hiring manager—who make the hiring decision.

"If you don't listen to them, then you aren't listening to me" I had just joined Amazon. My boss was also new. The team we were supporting had finally assembled its own recruiting team. We get pulled into a meeting with an L8 - an Amazon "Big Dog" - and all of his lieutenants. There were >40 engineering & product leaders in the room. The topic was hiring. The L8 said: - Hiring is our priority - These recruiters are here to help us - "if you don't listen to them, you aren't listening to me, and that will be a big problem for you." He asked the room if there were any questions. There were none. He asked the room if they all understood. Everyone nodded. Guess what? The entire engineering and product team did exactly what the recruiting team asked from there on. No one was late to interviews. Scorecards were always in on time. Everyone focused on their competencies. We made hundreds of hires. It was the most effective hiring machine I've ever observed. I think back to that meeting a lot. I rarely see displays of very senior leaders so clearly stating their priorities and expectations - but they are so effective. Why is this so rare??
