Recruiter emailed me randomly. Genuinely thought it was a scam at first, didn’t apply to anything and wasn’t referred.

Recruiter reached out. IMO having an optimized LinkedIn profile and remaining active on LinkedIn( I used to just repost/comment on stuff relevant to my role) made sure that I had plenty of recruiters always reaching out.

Made a connection with a recruiter while attending a “Life at Google” seminar. This was my second attempt in the interview loop and it led to an offer.

Was at a Big 4 firm and got lucky enough to work on the Google project for a year. Applied and interviewed 3 times with and without referrals from friends I knew at Google. Having the Google project on my resume was a plus for sure but I the referrals definitely played a bigger part in getting an interview. I tried applying for one role without a ref and never even got a rejection email. Applied again a few months later with a ref and the recruiter reached out to me within the week. I used the exact same resume too lol.

I imagine with the state of the tech job market and the reduction of recruiters at Google that the odds of your application being looked at without a ref would be rough.
