To spare someone else a research, it’s another term for ‘talent acquisition’ [0].

In times of employers market it's less likely to see aquahires

The market is starting to shift. It ain't where it was a year and a half ago... but the numbers say, it ain't what it was a few months ago.

No, presumably these employees will be based on dry land

I'm not one that laughs at others' auto-correct bloopers. I have made quite a lot of mistakes myself. But your quick reply made me laugh for a good 90-sec or so.

Right? To me it's more than just a cheap joke because it opens such possibilities. My first thought was of Amazon expanding out under Puget Sound in Bioshock-esque sunken office buildings.

lmao some times auto-correct typo's are better than what you wrote indeed

Rumor is they're going to offshore the whole operation...

Once they dry off after leaving the hiring pool at least

No, it's an aquahire. They're joining Amazon...
