Former Meta employee received $200,000 salary but did nothing

Maddie Machado joined Meta in 2021 as a talent acquisition specialist, telling The Independent that her previous employer’s hiring process was “not effective at all”.

She said the entire recruiting team did nothing because the process was inefficient. There was also not enough work for the entire team. Her salary was $200,000 a year.

Machado's comments come as Meta begins its third round of layoffs. CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced 11,000 job cuts by November 2022, followed by 10,000 in March. According to Insider , Facebook's parent company has laid off nearly a quarter of its workforce since last year.

Each person on the team was tasked with contacting up to five potential candidates a week, the former Meta employee said. Most people, however, fell short of that goal. “I knew that as soon as I started,” the former Meta employee said. “They had too many recruiters and too few good candidates.” So the possibility of duplicate contacts was inevitable.

In a since-deleted TikTok video , Machado talked about the benefits of working at Meta, including a $3,000 annual health care stipend while working from home. She was fired from Meta in February 2022.

Machado, who runs her own recruitment company, revealed why she was fired in a TikTok video last month. She resigned after meeting with Meta’s legal department about her TikTok videos. They deemed the videos a “conflict of interest” and she was fired a few days later.

Machado said she started at Meta just two weeks after former Facebook employees published internal documents about how the platform handles harmful content. That made it much harder to find talented candidates. Three months later, her team found that many good people didn’t want to work for Facebook.
