Why is that I have worked for a big multi national tech company and unless you had passed a 3 day course you where not allowed to interview candidates.

I would have thought that googles Hr would have a better proccess



My theory: Google started by hiring only new grads from Stanford and then a few other top schools.

1. They're only interested in new grads, so experienced people are treated funny; they're outliers.

2. They're only interested in top schools, which act as a pre-filter. Anyone interviewed is probably a good hire anyway, so it doesn't matter whether your process is goofy.

3. We are talking Google. Anyone under the age of 30 is slobbering all over themselves to work for them.

Keep this up for a few generations and their hiring process is permanently wacky.


Yeah, that ride is over. Google's rep is fucked with a lot of top schools anymore. Don't get me wrong; it's still a good company to work for, but getting a job at Google in 2017 is like getting a job at Microsoft in 2007. And the recruiting process is so stupid that the best candidates don't bother.


Ah so they don't have a HR director who can impose better practices no wonder they are having problems with being investigated for pay discrepancies.
