Tesla hires head Apple recruiter after losing own recruiter to Apple Car team

“Tesla has taken its recruiting of Apple employees to the next level: the electric car and energy company has hired away Apple’s Senior Director of Corporate Recruiting, Cindy Nicola, to become Tesla’s new Vice President of Global Recruiting,” Mark Gurman reports for 9to5Mac. “Nicola has already noted her now role and start month of May on her LinkedIn profile.”

“Notably, Apple actually hired away Tesla’s Lead Recruiter in 2014 for its own electric car project, as we noted in our extensive profile of Apple’s automotive related hires,” Gurman reports “Interestingly, that former Tesla recruiter Lauren Ciminera has already left Apple to work on a new ‘confidential’ project, according to her own LinkedIn page and confirmation from a source.”

MacDailyNews Take: Nicola works for Tesla. Funny!

The recruiting war between Apple and Tesla continues.

    1. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
      Here’s the proof positive for all MDN readers:

      GM is the 1 star censoring BOT TROLL.

      Hated by all here and embittered by rebuke, he used the same logic and judgement of posts by all he argued with, as the 1 star voting troll.

      If you look back in archives you will all see that, word for word.

      When he really wanted to drive his points home, he up voted them with blitzes of 5 star votes, in a similar troll Bot fashion. He spent many arguments that way.

      Last night, he waited till after dark, to down vote all the 5 stars on the above feedback that called him out.

      Go Home GM, give it up.

    2. Within less than an hour of posting this, he’s still at it knocking down the two 5 star ratings this post had.

      All the attention to this personal GM expose, is very telling.

      No one give a flying suck about GM that much, to vote so many times on a personal post, in the back pages.

      GM we know where you are, GIVE IT UP asshole.

  1. See… this is why Steve and Eric made their little deal. This is chaos. How much gets done with the revolving doors spinning at this rate? I *Do* like the Nicola Tesla connection.
