Google pre-HC team match

My google recruiter wants to team match before HC and I’m fairly certain it’s because of borderline interview performance. I’m sure it’s because I was slow in my last coding round. Do you think I could ask him for 1 or more additional coding rounds to improve HC chances instead of manager support? I know HC will sometimes recommend additional rounds and that would be ideal but I want to avoid a reject with my current packet + manager support. Thoughts?

Lol no, don't do that. You'll screw up your own chances

Agree with @AmazonTax

Thanks, yeah I guess I’ll just wait it out

Team matching is now the standard before HC

Didn't happen for me

Intel RTwW43 OP May 18, 2018

Like keep_calm says, I’ve seen a bunch of folks post that they went directly to HC, probably all hire/strong hire ratings

We don't do additional coding rounds based on interviewers request. You might get additional rounds if HC wants.

Thanks, hopefully I’m lucky and they do want “more signal”

Hey, do you know will the HC members review the code and fail the candidate if they find some bug?

OP-did you get through HC?
