A recruiter doesn't understand technical terms, to them that is an as good explanation as any other. And the interviewers later typically don't care about your resume, so it doesn't matter there either.
However the people deciding if you get hired and what level you get hired at, and the engineering managers who decide if they want you on their team, they understand that it is a bad explanation and care about it. Now there is such a lack of candidates passing the interviews that you will probably get a position anyway, but the position you get might be shit.
- passivate 6y agoThe candidate is under pressure to impress the recruiter so they might put in fluff, but the recruiter is also under pressure to make sure their services get retained too. At our company, we stop working with agencies/recruiters who send us a large number of junk resumes. I imagine its the same situation at many companies.
- username90 6y agoGoogle only has inhouse recruiters. Although the churn of those is extremely high, I'm not sure exactly how it works but I think they get fired after 6 months if they haven't managed to hire enough candidates or if they waste interviewers time with too many bad candidates. You could think that the process means they have good recruiters, but since the churn is extremely high Google has a ton of inexperienced recruiters working there at all times.
- passivate 6y agoI see.. I was not aware of the internals at Google. Thanks for pointing it out.
