If I ask my google recruiter to speed up the decision process (because i have another pending offer), how will it affect my chance of getting the offer? possible outcome #1 (neutrual): my package got submitted to HC earlier and it doesn’t affect the decision. possible outcome #2 (negative): HC thinks no hire is better than bad hire so I will be more likely to be rejected. possible outcome #3 (positive): HC thinks since I have another offer then I’m more likely to be a decent hire. Should I ask my recruiter to speed up? 🙏
I got destroyed by a FANG recruiter for asking them to speed up:(
It's fair. Just he honest with them and tell them if you have an exploding offer. If they want you, they'll come get you
I asked my Google recruiter if my package could be expedited due to a competing offer. It was. I did phone interview and on-site in consecutive weeks and had the offer the following week. It still wasn’t done by the deadline for the other offer, so I ended up accepting the other offer and reneging, but at least it was before the start date of the other job 🤷♀️
What about team match? Isn't that the biggest bottleneck?
I dunno, maybe. The office I applied to wasn’t MTV. I don’t remember exact timeline, but I feel like my acceptance week was something like: Monday- HC followed by recruiter call Tuesday- 2 team matching calls Wednesday- Recruiter says one HM is interested, so I accepted there. In hindsight I wish I’d held out for a team I was more interested, but I’m approaching a year now so I can transfer. 🤷♀️
If they are on the verge, you may potentially get requested for another follow up interview. But if you have requested for an expedited process, then you may be rejected instead. But it probably only makes a real difference when the feedback isn’t consistently positive or negative.
Fwiw, when I asked my recruiter too speed up. He told me HC decided not to proceed with my application but in reality he withdrew my application saying I was not interested. I came to know about it when another Google recruiter approached me.
Why do they do that though ? Especially in the last stage ? What's the logic
Just a bad recruiter who does not like doing his job 🤬🤬🤬
(3) almost never happens. Usually it's just (1)
My Google process was greatly expedited with a competing offer. Skipped straight to on-site, then had 6 team match calls in one day. Still took ~3 weeks in all, but I was able to hold off the other offer until G came with theirs.
What level was this for? Location?
L5 (downleveled to L4 on offer) in MTV.
I did this recently and apparently I was a no-hire
Depends on how quality of a candidate they are.
