I didn't have them initially reach out to me, but I did have a similar experience in that after initially talking to them they sort of tailed off communication until I pressed it a little further. I think perhaps they get incentivized for bringing in leads, but then when it comes time to actually put a Google engineer on the phone or in the room with you for an interview, there is a waiting list where you get pushed to the back. I have no idea, but I agree it is weird.
