Google Hardware recruiter keeps me in the loop saying “we are reviewing your application” (without me asking). I got another offer recently and asked the recruiter if we can facilitate things after telling about another offer. Have I spooked them because they are still early in the process and I already got an offer from somewhere else, or are they really likely to speed things up? Anyone had similar experience with Google or other companies? #hardware #interview EDIT: I haven’t had a single interview yet, but I am receiving “hey no updates, but we are still considering you” emails from a recruiter person 🤷
What is the role you’re interviewing for?
Hardware role, Pixel, sorry don want to be specific
Yay. Come fix my pixel. Less crashes appreciated 🙂👍😎
Did your application is under the hiring committee?
TC and YoE?
I love when candidates tell me what offers or late stages processes they’re in. If they’re a good candidate I want to push things forward faster and make it work. If they’re not a strong candidate I can be honest and tell them to take it. I doubt you spooked them
Tell them the more they say loop, the more you see a TC package approach infinity.
Congrats.. can you post your role and offer details?
Put the finger print reader back on the back of the phone!
Yes please?
Telling them about another offer and having deadline can help accelerate interview process. Happened with me for Microsoft.
Not a recruiter but I guess it really depends on the candidate, urgency or priority. For some candidate they will speed things up, for other candidates it will be different
HW eng here - Told them I got an offer. Now the recruiter said the interviews went well and they’re moving ahead with the evaluation and are ironing out a few details. I guess it helps fast track if you have another offer. Have a call later this week to discuss, will update if they extend a formal offer or not.
how far in the process have you told them? I still haven’t had a single call with them but recruiter keeps updating me that they are “considering” me lol
I had told in the very beginning that I’m interviewing with 3 other companies and that the process would need to be a bit faster than usual. So one week after the interview I reached out and told them I got an offer. Few days later recruiter called and congratulated but didn’t extend an official offer yet. It’s been 1 week since and they’ve said they’re working on some details and I’ll have it this week. Overall - 3 weeks since interview
