Thought experiment:
1. Candidate interviews and gets to the final rung of the ladder.
2. Name of candidate gets input into Google's "Final Rung" algorithm.
3. The "Final Rung" algorithm cross checks the candidate's name against all of that candidate's data from the Googleverse.
4. What the algorithm checks for is a black box to the hiring team. Only "1" or "0" is output.
5. Google then either accepts the candidate or goes back through the application looking for "clues" for why the algo output a "0".
What is the argument for Google not doing what I just described above?
- munchbunny 8y agoThe argument is Google should put said "Final Rung" algorithm up at step 0 (which would be entirely possible for a GPA issue). Alternatively, Google should not give a verbal offer until the "Final Rung" algorithm returns a 1.
- anticensor 8y agoInitial rung would be too noticeable.
- munchbunny 8y agoYou don't have to point out that it's about GPA. You ask for resume + references + transcript and just reject the initial application. The resume screen stage is extremely noisy, it wouldn't be obvious.
