I keep hearing that Google is currently in a hiring freeze, but I still see jobs posted so plan to apply. How critical is a referral?

Referral def helps but make sure you meet the bare min requirements or else they won't even look at you usually.

That is good advice. Thanks!

I thought the freeze was mostly for the non-tech jobs

Interesting. That would make sense because I haven’t noticed many non-tech jobs posted lately. That said, I am seeking a non-tech job and did see one posted, so I’m sure it’ll be a crowded field.

Yes they’re in a hiring freeze, they are still interviewing however. Referral will get you to talk to a recruiter screen

I'm currently in a process for senior associate at a Big4. The process began on July, yet between the first and second interview it took like 3-4 weeks. And between the 2nd and 3rd like 7 weeks. I sent an email to HR during those weeks asking for an update and didn't have an answer. Then it a 3rd one was scheduled three times (the manager didn't connect to the first 2) and next week I have the last interview with 1 partner. Is the timing normal? Or were they looking for other candidates or what?
