Hi All, for those who work at Google or have worked at Google specifically in the Recruitment team - how do you get in? I have 10+ years of solid recruiting experience across tech, engineering, data centres and AI roles. I apply and never get through - even with a referral. I am beyond confused as I know I meet the requirements and have also experience working at global enterprises. Any words of wisdom?! Thanks!

Hi! Sorry you’re feeling confused and it makes sense given your background. A few observations:
-most roles these days go internal so recruiters will move teams and ultimately they get priority
-we have a lot of TVCs (temps, vendors, consultants) and this pool usually gets priority once roles go external so this makes it even more competitive, I would argue that coming in as TVC will set you up well for a full time staff role
-location: not sure where you’re based but right now we’re giving priority to lower cost markets - Austin, Chicago, Atlanta, etc versus San Francisco, NYC or LA. So if you’re in a high cost bigger market you may be at a disadvantage even if role says they’re open to your location.
-Tip: one of the best ways to get through is having your referral ping the hiring manager internally and flag your resume directly. You should still apply but it’s super competitive right now. If someone internally is actively vouching for you, this will help tremendously.

Good luck!!

I am the only developer in my team and my manager has assigned me a project in which I need to create a tool from scratch although that is currently running in production build by third party and we don't have access to that code.

I am on notice period and I am 100% sure that project won't be completed before my LWD.

What should I do, I asked him to put some extra team members but he didn't agree, seems like he will add extra team members 2-3 weeks before my LWD.

I work at a ‘free market’ firm and have developed a very good reputation among partners. Naturally, they are drowning me in work. Each time a new case comes up, the partner will email asking if I have “time and interest” in helping. When I’m at capacity, I take these words at face value and explain why I can’t do it, and that seems to work out ok with no hard feelings. But what’s the “interest” thing? If I don’t want to work on a toxic tort case, do I just say that and pass?

I know saying no more would help
