"We were using a temp agency to fill several temporary positions for brief assignments. However, we weren't happy with many of the temp workers they sent us. That's when I discovered a more affordable route of using freelancers and independent contractors to perform these basic jobs, such as data entry. There was less lag, and in the end, it was a more cost-efficient option."

Describe how you identified the opportunity, perhaps showcasing your attention to detail. Relay the research you undertook to determine the best course of action, highlighting how you communicated your insights and the suggestions you made for your course of action. Offer how your suggestions were received and how your observations or actions benefited your teams.

Focus your answer on as many of the Amazon Leadership Principles as you can, placing your emphasis on 'Invent and Simplify' and 'Think Big.' Jeff Bezos once said, "If you decide that you're going to do only the things you know are going to work, you're going to leave a lot of opportunity on the table." How you answer this question will inform your interviewer of what you could offer them as a candidate.
