The Pillars of an Award-Winning Program
Amplitude was selected as a 2023 Campus Forward Award Winner for their unwavering commitment to seeking out and hiring early career talent, their emphasis on diversity & inclusion, and investments in nurturing and retaining the next generation of talent. Please see below for the highlights of their approach to early career recruitment.
Demonstrated Investment in Early Career Hiring
Amplitude believes that investing in early-career hiring and programs allows it to continue hiring top talent as part of its long-term recruitment strategy and 'bet' that these interns will become future leaders of the company. Despite the wavering economy, Amplitude continues to prioritize early-career hiring by partnering with schools to build out ongoing relationships, hosting virtual and in-person events, and offering a great interview experience across various roles. From the first class internship experience, to access to employee resource groups and emphasis on D&I strategies, Amplitude is excited to continue building out a standout program that will elevate emerging talent individuals with opportunities to grow professionally and personally.
Innovative and Multi-Faceted Approach to University Recruitment
The university recruiting team at Amplitude is continually growing in creativity in their recruitment strategies. By adopting a hybrid recruitment approach, Amplitude's team has crafted a diverse set of virtual and in-person events, ranging from smaller intimate gatherings with student organizations on campus and at HBCUs, as well as prioritizing larger conference presences like AfroTech and Rewriting the Code. Once students enter the pipeline, Amplitude prioritizes candidate experience by offering interview prep sessions and are available for questions at every step of the process.
Overarching Commitment to Diversity & Inclusion
Amplitude firmly believes that recruiting entry-level can create a more inclusive and long-term impact on its overall diversity across the company. To recruit a diverse slate of interns, Amplitude has forged partnerships with student organizations such as SWE, SBSE, and WICSE, and LatinX student orgs. In addition to recruitment, Amplitude is proud to offer those from underrepresented backgrounds access to specialized support when they join the company in the form of mentorship, employee resource groups, and development opportunities for long-term professional and personal growth.
Impactful Internship Program
At Amplitude, interns are empowered with impactful projects that they are able to see from ideation to creation, regardless of the business function. As a hybrid internship program, interns have the opportunity to work in-person with seasoned professionals and mentors, while still having flexible work-schedules, leaving time for plenty of community building and collaboration. Interns also have the opportunity to engage and learn from company executives, have ERGs present lecture series dedicated to their professional development, and present in a final intern presentation where they discuss the impact their work had on the business. Beyond learning and development, Amplitude's intern program has boba mixers, karaoke nights, and the opportunity to really engage with their fellow intern cohort. These components are why Amplitude's offer acceptance rate after internship is over 80%.
Growth and Development of the Next Generation of Talent
Amplitude goes above and beyond to ensure full-time hires are set up for success — beginning with a robust onboarding experience and onboarding buddies’ support. Within the first six months, new hires will be offered the opportunity to join an extensive mentorship program, as well as regular check-in and career development conversations with their manager.
