Amy Schultz

Amy Schultz is currently the Head of Recruitment at Canva. Prior to this, they were with Impello and LinkedIn. Amy was with LinkedIn for over five years, where they were the Senior Director, Product Recruiting. In this role, they partnered with LinkedIn's new Global Head of Product, Tomer Cohen, on talent strategy. The Product org at LinkedIn is diverse and the team recruits Product Managers, Product Designers, Strategic Partnerships experts, Journalists for LinkedIn's growing News team, Customer Support specialists, Content Managers and much more!

LinkedIn’s mission is to create economic opportunity for every member of the global workforce. LinkedIn fundamentally believe everyone deserves a shot, regardless of where you went to school, where you grew up, or what opportunities you’ve had in the past. Which is why Amy helped to recently launch a new approach to hiring, shining a light on skills not just someone's resume. The new process was piloted on Customer Support Consultant roles based out of LinkedIn's Omaha, Nebraska office. Whether a job seeker is coming from a traditional customer support background or not, they have the opportunity to demonstrate the skills that would make them a successful Customer Support Consultant at LinkedIn leveraging free and optional LinkedIn Learning courses geared towards developing these skills. The best part? Anyone that successfully demonstrates their skills through the hiring process will be guaranteed an interview at LinkedIn. Creating and launching this transformative hiring process in collaboration with Product and the business was an absolute career highlight for Amy.
