how long to ping Google recruiter?
Interviewed with Google onsite last Thursday for a non-tech GCP role. How long should I wait before pinging the recruiter for a status update? They were interviewing several candidates last week (there are three positions open) so my next update should be whether they’ve decided I’m good enough to send to HC, right? Or do they send everyone to HC who didn’t bomb the interviews? Would they send 5 people for 3 open positions and let the HC choose? Don’t really get how the process works for non-eng roles...
I always email after my last interview a nicer version of "Just finished with name of interviewer. Please keep me posted".
It can take a while. I’m joining GCP in Dec. My entire recruiting process took about two months long from Aug to Oct.
So basically for non-tech roles where there isnt a pool of resources to choose from (enginners, etc.) where its a one to one role specific hire, the Hiring Manager interviews a bunch of candidates via a video or voice call and then sends 2-3 people to on-sites (since they are expensive from travel perspective) and then they only send 1 to HC and see how it pans out. They never send multiple to HC from what i hear. Only when one falls through, whether its from HC, VP, SVP side or from candidate side (they drop their candidacy), do they send another to HC. The Hiring Manager and with input from the team (interviewers) basically rank/queue you to go to HC one at a time.
What about hiring events where they want multiple people at a time?
Google Google's "How we hire" page. It can take a week to months
They’re looking to fill these roles before January, so I don’t expect it’ll be months.
Then just wait 2 weeks and then reach out That's what I do at least
