How to get referred at Amazon
Step 1
Find the exact role
Open the job on amazon.jobs and copy the job link and job ID. Referrers can only submit you for a specific opening.
Step 2
Pick the right referrer
Choose a verified Amazon employee (fees from ₹500). Someone in the same team or function can speak to your fit more credibly.
Step 3
Send a focused request
Attach a resume tailored to the role and a three- or four-line note on why you fit. Lead with experience that matches what Amazon tests, such as Amazon 16 Leadership Principles (STAR format) and Graphs, Trees & BFS/DFS.
Step 4
Get referred and track it
Once they accept and you pay, they submit you through Amazon's internal referral portal and upload proof. Your payment is held until that proof is in.
Amazon tip: Amazon referrals are tied to one job ID at a time. Prepare two or three Leadership Principles stories in STAR format before your referrer submits you, because the online assessment can arrive within days.
