Is there limited head count for L3 in google seattle? My recruiter is still trying for a team match in seattle since 2 weeks. Any leads or referrals?

    Recruiter is bullshitting. I've been through the same bullshit. They are wearing you down until you relent and take any team they offer.
    The recruiters are incentivized to:
    a) hire for a location
    b) hire for specific teams

    Some recruiters are good enough to mention this, many aren't. They will happily sabotage your application to get their bonus (they'll also modify your referred application if they have a finder's bonus).

    The quickest way to cut through this shit is to get a competing offer. The more prestigious the company, the better. If they lose a candidate because they slacked off in team matching, they'll be very clearly in the wrong. So you need to give them info that you are willing to ditch them.

    If you want more details, DM me. I went through this shit.

    • Help. What do you do if you don’t have a competing offer? I’ve kind of cut back on applying and don’t want to start interviewing again 😭

      I was in the same boat.
      1. Keep interviewing. You need to give the google recruiter a strong strong signal that you are time bound.
      2. Did you get a referral? Ask the referral to out you in touch with teams. The recruiter is doing their job, but you can take control too. Reach out to 2nd order connections through some intros and ask them if they have headcount.

  • seems like mountain view also doesn’t have headcount. I’ve been doing team match for 4 weeks, and nothing so far and I passed HC first and then started team match.

    Going through the same thing. I’ve been in team matching for weeks. Seems like a scam.

    My recruiter told me there's pretty much 0 headcount in seattle.

    Ive been in team match for 2 months.

    Although i did pass HC last week so hopefully team match goes faster now
