I’m planning to apply to Google. I know 4 people (All L4) who are happy to refer me. Besides them, there are 3 others who know of me from a previous company we all worked at and are currently Director and above at Google. I don’t know them personally well enough to reach out and ask for a referral but I know that they have good regard for my work. My questions are: - Will it help if I have all 4 of my contacts refer me? All these contacts are former co-workers so they know me and my work well enough. - Does if matter which level the referrer is at? Eg, L4, L5 etc - Sometime during the interview process, will I be given the opportunity to give names of Googlers I’ve worked with in the past as references. I can give names of the 3 people in the upper levels here assuming this adds more weight to my candidature. Thanks!
Lmao 4 referrals doesn’t make a difference. You can only apply and fail the interview process once a year. It’s not like you can interview 4 times. It also doesn’t change whether HR thinks your resume is good enough after reading it through 4 times. Stfu and get back to leetcoding
I would pick the highest level to refer you. mention to your recruiter every single person that works at Google that you know. They will all be asked to provide their opinion of you.

I am starting to think Chinese interviewers currently fail non-Chinese candidates on purpose.
For me they asked me for references before my onsite. Not sure how much it helped, I passed HC, but I'm fairly certain I aced every round besides 1.
You passed even though round 1 wasn’t the best? Were you asked for any references or just Googlers?
Well I still wrote the optimal code with no bugs by the end, I just didn't get it without help like the other rounds.
