Unsolicited resumes are the most noisy channel of all. TBF I'm somewhat surprised it is even cost effective to keep reading them. But, send an engineer to spend an hour talking at a university and you get a bunch of very promising leads every time.
Source: I've been an interviewer in Google for a number of years and talked at a university at some point.
- kyawzazaw 5y agoHow do you determine promising leads among hundreds? Let’s say for example you send someone to UMinnesota or UMD. What’s the process here to get leads for internships or new grad roles?
- lrem 5y agoThe folk hanging around to ask follow-up questions are my bet. Some of the questions really show the person is sharp enough to suggest you can put them into the system. Obviously this misses the good leads that simply don't care about your today's topic. That's in line with Google's approach being fine with a lot of false negatives.
