How do you approach candidates that say on their application they don’t require future work authorization but it’s obvious they are on STEM OPT?

If you are interviewing them ask 2 questions separately “do you require sponsorship now” and “will you at any point in the future require sponsorship”. Get a yes/no answer for each.
If they are a fit and you haven’t reached out yet, set up a screen and get these questions and the other questions out of the way before digging into job history.

They bold face still lie, my colleague had one candidate get to offer and hit up BTW....my work permit expires in 2 years.

I ask those two questions followed by just to confirm, you're a USC or you have your Green Card in hand correct?

What do you mean by "it's obvious they are on STEM OPT"?

It's important to make sure the candidate can explain their situation accurately. If you have any doubts, question them closely and determine when their STEM OPT expiration is. And at that point you can assess whether they fit into your organization's current stance on sponsorship.

yes id make sure to ask this at the very beginning before other questions if this is a huge concern

If it's a candidate i want to interview, I would ask them directly during the initial phone screener

I’m interviewing at Google’s Treasury team. The role would be as a rates analyst managing their portfolio - primarily cash and short duration fixed income products (100bn aum). TC: ~150k, not sure of breakdown.

I currently work as a quant/middle office at a very well reputed mutual fund, but this is not a market facing role. TC: 125k, but they have a very generous profit sharing plan that contributes 25% of my pay to retirement accts if I stay for 6 years, so ~160k?

Any thoughts?
