Ask HN: How do Google recruiters work?

3 points by rootsudo 8y ago ↗ HN

Hi guys!

A google recruited reached out to me on Linkedin.

I'm as giddy and anxious as a high school girl.

The recruiter said it's "casual" but it's clearly more than that. It'd be for a google cloud role.

Technical solution engineer.

Could anyone give me the rundown on what to expect?

Given that this is a Google recruiter, disappointment with perhaps a vague sense of misuse.

You'll chat with a recruiter then get scheduled for a phone screen, which may lead to an in person interview. Pretty standard stuff.

If you don't have a copy of Cracking The Coding Interview I'd suggest getting one. Also:

It's about as exciting as having sent in your resume and hearing back from them. So not nothing, but don't picture yourself getting chair massages while sipping draft kombucha just yet.

HN is not Blind. Take questions like this there.

Slowly. Very. Very. Slowly.

(Also, no matter what anyone says, at least until you have a written offer, they can and will decline you at any time. Be careful.)
