I wouldn't be surprised if the recruiter just googled to find a list of questions and answers. This candidate probably isn't even on any official radar. The recruiter probably just uses this as a means to evaluate candidates before they officially call dibs on them. Google could very well be different since they do many things differently but recruiting has always been a sales position with everything it comes with, namely leads, quotas, conversions, etc.
- klodolph 10y agoI don't think that's what happened. The questions look too familiar to me, and I've been through the SRE-SWE interview process which is what the top-level comment talks about.
- brazzledazzle 10y agoMaybe it's the whole "better to have false negatives than false positives" philosophy Google espouses?
- klodolph 10y agoThat's part of it, but the other part is what you mentioned earlier--leads, quotas, conversions, and don't forget diversity initiatives, inexperienced recruiters, and the fact that the first part of the funnel has to be dirt cheap to work at scale. For what it's worth, lots of other companies seem to use almost the exact same process.
- ocdtrekkie 10y agoThe problem is, once you have a crud ton of false negatives, people stop wanting to apply to work for you, especially when you get excluded via junk like this. And every false negative that posts about it online... well, this post is at +1363 right now?
