Unless Sundar refers you, nothing is guaranteed
So being referred by Larry or Sergei doesn’t count?🥺🤣

Lol. I found so many Deloitte employees here have such daydream about FAANG companies recruiting process. If it’s that easy, everyone could be a Googler

Google got thousands of employees, getting a referral is very easy… unless you are a SWE with great experience which is unlikely at Deloitte. Those business roles have huge competition. So don’t expect too much… plus most people got interviewed will be easily filtered out…

Nothing is guaranteed
P1 I don’t know what your former colleagues told you but if you were ever part of the hiring process you know how it works. Even referrals or someone who “had a chat with the HM” goes through the process. There’s no skipping interview panels or hiring committee. People may have gotten an initial “chat” but it guaranteed them nothing.
The best thing you can do is make sure you actually meet the minimum qualifications for whatever you're applying for. Google is strict about those.

While nothing is guaranteed, better outcomes are expected if the referrer is persistent and takes personal interest in admin things such as following up with recruiter to ensure momentum etc.
There’s nothing guaranteed for anything in life little butterfly
As others have said, no guarantee. Every interview at Google goes through a checks and balances process that removed bias and although a referral I'd part of the consideration package, it won't influence someone who doesn't know you.
No guarantees but specially no ‘gaurantee’
