Ho presentato la mia candidatura tramite un selezionatore. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso Google (New York, NY) nel mese di ott 2014
Colloquio
Actual questions asked on the interview:
1) Hypothetical: how would you ensure all candidates have a great customer service experience at Google?
2) Hypothetical: what are Google’s top challenges in hiring?
3) What are key points in an applicant tracking system
4) How would you find a director of engineering in Kenya
5) Company lays off 10% of workforce, how do you find the top 2%
6) You are given 2 recruiters, how long would it take to source X amount of candidates?
7) How do you go about sourcing
8) You are trying to recruiter a passive candidate who has offers from Facebook and Twitter, how do you do it?
as much as this company prides itself on their screening process they are just as clueless as anyone when it comes to hiring. It's not a science. They hired 3 of the worst recruiters in our NYC office and passed on the #1 and #2 recruiter. The interview tests how well you can answer their questions. Oh and they never give a reason why they pass on you either. And it will take weeks and they will re-schedule on your more than once. Nice work Google, you nailed it.

Smooth sailing. The recruiter was communicative and kept me up to date throughout. Pretty clear the teams here are packed with smart people. Googleyness interview was actually quite fun, but the GCA one was pretty tricky.

Structured, rigorous, and well-organized process with clear evaluation criteria. Thoughtful interviewers, strong focus on problem-solving and communication, smooth coordination, and a professional, candidate-friendly experience throughout. Really enjoyable process overall with friendly and approachable interviewers.

I applied, then had a recruiter screen. After that, I went through two interviews focused on sourcing and stakeholder management, followed by a virtual onsite with four interviews. Each interviewer tested one competency. Maybe there would be more stages but I didn't pass the fourth one.
