What ATS Does Amazon Use?
Amazon uses a custom internal applicant tracking system built on top of Salesforce. Resumes are screened by keyword-matching algorithms before a human recruiter ever sees them. The system heavily weights role-specific keywords and quantified achievements.
Keywords That Help Pass Screening
- Leadership Principles (e.g. Customer Obsession, Ownership, Bias for Action)
- Measurable outcomes (%, $, time saved)
- Relevant tools and technologies for the role
- Job title keywords that match the posting
Amazon's ATS filters out CVs that don't contain relevant keywords early. Use LoopCV's AI CV Checker to ensure your CV is optimised before auto-applying.
How to Get a Job at Amazon
Amazon's hiring process is structured and predictable once you understand what it's evaluating at each step.
Apply early - within 48 hours
Amazon reviews applications on a rolling basis. Roles often close early when enough strong candidates are in pipeline. LoopCV applies automatically the moment a new matching role is posted.
Map every answer to a Leadership Principle
Amazon uses its 16 Leadership Principles to evaluate every candidate at every stage. Behavioral interview answers must tell a clear story using the STAR method and link back to a specific principle.
Quantify everything on your CV
Amazon's ATS and recruiters both look for measurable impact. Avoid vague statements. Instead of 'improved team efficiency', write 'reduced deployment time by 40% across a team of 8'.
Prepare for the bar-raiser
Amazon's final interview loop includes a 'Bar Raiser' - an interviewer from a different team whose job is to ensure the candidate raises the overall bar. They tend to ask harder behavioral questions and probe for depth.

Before your Amazon interview, prepare 2–3 specific examples from your career that can be mapped to multiple Leadership Principles. The STAR method (Situation, Task, Action, Result) is the expected format.
