Step 1: spam the living crap out of everyone on LinkedIn
I too have problems hiring due to running into population limits of certain towns.
There are a LOT of people at the #AWSSummit watching this talk. If she doesn’t drop her email at the end with a “reach out if you’re looking to make a change” call to action then it’s a massive missed opportunity to hire.
“Sometimes at Amazon we like to ghost *successful* candidates for a few weeks before extending an offer— just to mess with them.” —the honest version of this talk
Ah, the Bar Raiser program. Often heard by Amazonians as “we eliminate bias by bringing in an interviewer who’s better than you.”
Soon: “Alexa, what’s the temperature?”
“It’s 74 degrees. By the way, we’re hiring.”
Yes, your 20 person startup needs a hiring process that can scale to 1.6 million employees.

Hello from the Los Angeles #awssummit of Anaheim; it's livetweeting time.
In the summit app, the @awscloud billing services once again get snubbed. Sad!
And we're starting with an Intel processor video. Surely there will be nothing @awscloud says later in this presentation that could possibly imply that Intel processors were anything other than the absolute best option for all of your workloads.
It starts, as does basically everything, with a Jenkins job. A user clicks the button, and the Jenkins job makes an API call.
"What API?" you ask? Taskrabbit's. It hires a person on TaskRabbit to go to the bank downtown and retrieve the secret from its secure storage, which is a safety deposit box.
"Tell us your demographic information or there will be no Honeycode for you. We are not kidding."
Yes, there are "Prefer Not to Say" options for all three options, but if I wanted to be gated by a bunch of pointless mouse clicks I'd go spin up an @awscloud SNS topic in the console instead.
If I were completely amoral I'd simply set up a bunch of open source AMIs on the @awscloud Marketplace, charge more for "support" than the instance cost, and call myself something innocuous like "Supported Images."
That's such a good scam that of course someone beat me to it.
I see a bunch of replies attempting to reinvent my old scam:
