A Recruiter on The New Rules of Getting Hired in Big Tech - Sonya Lee (Netflix)

Dela

The job market has changed. Has your strategy?

In this episode, Career Queens, I sit down with Sonya, a senior recruiter at Netflix, for an unfiltered conversation about what is actually happening in tech hiring right now — and what candidates need to do differently.

With over 400,000 tech layoffs since 2022, companies getting leaner by design, and AI reshaping entire teams, the playbook that worked three years ago is no longer enough. Sonya breaks down exactly what recruiters see when they open your resume, why the shift to an employer's market changes how you should negotiate, and whether personal branding on LinkedIn is helping or just noise.

If you are in a job search, thinking about your next move, or building your career in tech, this episode will give you the honest, insider perspective you have been looking for.

In this episode:

  • What recruiters actually look for on your resume
  • Why referrals increase visibility but don't guarantee the role
  • The AI skills myth — and what companies are really asking about
  • How to stand out when everyone is applying for everything
  • What Netflix's culture really looks for in candidates
  • Salary negotiation in today's employer's market
