Hi! I've been stuck in host matching for Google Research EMEA for the last few months. Recruiter told me that I should have been fine since I entered the pool really early in November, but didn't get any bites due to conference deadlines / holidays. Its now February and despite pinging recruiter regularly and providing them with teams I think I'd be well suited for, not getting any hits. I'm afraid that due to the break I may have gone to the back of the pile where I'm not getting noticed.

My profile: I'm a final year Master student from a top 7 EU school who will be commencing a PhD next year. I have done several deep learning projects both through school coursework and on my own. I have also participated and done work for university research groups on NLP stuff. I also have extensive work experience doing C and C++ stuff and will be comfortable with just about anything.

If anyone internally could help out, I would be incredibly grateful. I turned down offers from both IBM and Arm to wait out Google and am concerned that if this situation keeps going, I will end up having nothing for the summer and my profile will be far less competitive next year.

    Go on Linkedin and manually ping every potential host. Use one of those chrome extensions that gets you their email from their linkedin account and send a nice and tailored email to every single one.

      OP
      My concern is that we've been asked not to contact hosts directly - emailing potential hosts runs the risk of getting caught and kicked out of the pool. I appreciate that I'm effectively doing the same thing here, though my name isn't tied to it.
