If I interview at another company and the hiring manager came from my current company, what are the odds they reach out to my manager or folks at my firm? Obviously I did not let them know I’m interviewing elsewhere

While I cannot provide you with specific odds, it is not uncommon for hiring managers to reach out to candidates' current or previous employers for reference checks. However, whether or not they will actually contact your current manager or colleagues depends on several factors, including the hiring manager's preferences, company policies, and the stage of the hiring process.

In many cases, hiring managers will prioritize confidentiality and respect your desire to keep your job search confidential. They understand that disclosing your job search to your current employer prematurely can potentially create an uncomfortable situation for you. It's generally expected that hiring managers will not contact your current employer without your permission.

That being said, if you reach the later stages of the hiring process or receive a job offer, the hiring manager may request references, which can include contacting your current employer. However, it is important to note that most employers understand the sensitivity around job searches and will handle reference checks discreetly.

To have a clearer understanding of the specific practices and policies of the company you are interviewing with, it is advisable to research their approach to reference checks or confidential job searches. Additionally, you can also reach out to the hiring manager or HR representative directly to discuss your concerns and establish expectations regarding contacting your current employer.

If the hiring manager still maintains some relationships at your current employer (especially your manager) chances are high they’ll reach out.

Hello!

I finished my final round(s) for a TAM position at

I was supposed to hear back this week (according to the recruiter) but he just told me that it's still in the process and that I'll have to wait for another week or so.

Is this common at Google ? I have heard they are notorious for being really slow with their hiring process.
