Hiring Process: what to expect
We're looking for get-things-done, problem solvers who are excited about tackling major
challenges at scale. Because our people are core to all we do at Google, our hiring process
is designed to reflect our consensus-driven culture. Candidates can meet with a variety of
Googlers so that we can get to know our candidates - and what makes them unique - and they
can get to know us in return. To find out more about the steps in our hiring process, click
the tabs below and check out these tips and tricks around applying for a role at Google.
Hiring Process Steps
Step 1: Apply
The process begins with searching for a job opening that interests you by job department,
location, or even by keyword.
Step 2: Contacted by recruiter
If you are a match for the position based on qualifications and experience, a recruiter
will contact you to learn more about your background and answer your questions.
Step 3: Phone interview
The phone interview assesses your role-related skills and proficiency, to determine whether
you should be brought in for in-person interviews. Typically phone interviews are conducted
by someone in a similar role and last about 30-40 minutes.
Step 4: Onsite interview
Our interview process for technical positions evaluates your core software engineering
skills including: coding, algorithm development, data structures, design patterns,
analytical thinking skills. For business and general positions, we evaluate your problem
solving and behavioral abilities. Interviewers will ask you questions related to your area
of interest and ask you to solve them in real time. Remember, it's not a question of
getting the answer right or wrong, but the process you use to solve it. Creativity is
important.
Step 5: Hire by Committee
Virtually every person who interviews at Google talks to at least four interviewers, drawn
from both management and potential colleagues. Everyone's opinion counts, ensuring our
hiring process is fair while maintaining high standards as we grow. Yes, it takes longer,
but we believe it's worth it.
Step 6: What's next?
Following your interviews, we will decide if you are suitable for the job opening. We take
hiring very seriously and like to make consensus-based decisions. To that end, it can take
up to two weeks for us to make a definitive decision as to whether we'd like to have you
join the team. Please be patient with us – your recruiter will keep in touch with you when
feedback has been received and decisions made. Also feel free to get in touch with your
recruiter at any time.
