You can use the "Exclude people" filter in Find People to exclude current Amazon employees. You can exclude up to 3 different sets of people using Clay tables, CSVs, or manual lists (up to 300,000 people total). [1]
To set this up, create a table of current Amazon employees first, then when doing your people search, use the "Exclude people" parameter and select that table. The exclusions require LinkedIn URLs to work properly. [2]
This is perfect for recruiting since you can exclude current and former employees when searching for leads. [3]
