The TAAP Journey

Buckle up for the ride of a lifetime.

Training begins

Congratulations! You’ve arrived at Uber on the TAAP team as a new Sourcer or Recruiter. Your first 4 weeks will be spent in an immersive training experience designed to teach you the fundamentals of hiring the Uber way. You will learn how to source and evaluate high potential candidates, build business and product knowledge, and how to partner with hiring managers and teams.

Mentor matching

During training, you will be matched with a mentor who can provide guidance throughout the program and after graduation. Mentors can provide in-the-moment advice and skills coaching to ensure that you always have someone to lean on for support.

Sourcing and recruiting rotations

After classroom training is complete, the TAAP program team matches you with your first sourcing or recruiting assignment across priority hiring teams—from engineering to marketing. It’s time to show what you’ve learned and recruit and hire real candidates, all while continuing to be in a supportive training environment.

Graduation

After 16 weeks of training, you are officially ready to graduate! TAAP graduates are matched to best-fit roles and placed on full-time Recruiting teams across Talent Acquisition at Uber.

No experience. No problem.

“I spent seven years as a high school Math Teacher. This was the perfect opportunity for me to take my skills and apply them to a new career path while having the support of others going through the same journey," Jessica Stubbs, former TAAP member.
