The Recruiter's Perspective – Tony Lyons, Technical Recruiter at Amazon

Season 7 of Ride The Tide Collective kicks off "The Recruiter's Perspective" with Tony Lyons, a technical recruiter at Amazon, on hiring, LinkedIn strategy, and interviewing.

Season 7 of Ride The Tide Collective, The Podcast, is all about "The Recruiter's Perspective" and we are starting strong with Tony Lyons, a technical recruiter from Amazon. Yes, that Amazon.

The power of LinkedIn was strong in this connection because Tony and I went to the same college and it was a primary factor in our connection.

In his interview, Tony share the types of roles he recruits for - experienced technical roles - and share the process you go through when applying for these types of positions.

He shares his perspective on pro-active hiring, meaning he spends time searching for candidates using resources like LinkedIn.

If you have been trying to figure out how to make LinkedIn work for you - this is a great episode to watch/listen to because Tony and I get in-depth with how to make LinkedIn work for you.

We also discuss hiring basics such as tips for getting through the ATS, how to write your resume, and how to prepare for interviews.

What I appreciate about Tony is his openness to share not only his perspective, but also his own experience applying and interviews at various well-known companies.

For those also interested in how to interject your faith when interviewing, Tony shares his personal experience and how he asks good questions to ensure the organization aligns with his personal values.
