Did my on-site a week ago. My team match decided to go with an internal candidate instead because of timeline constraints - so now my recruiter says we have to look for other teams. Any tips/advice on how to make this process successful? I’ve heard it can take months to team match at G and sometimes people wait a year without finding a match 😓 Should I ask my Google friends to let me know which HM is hiring and then reach out to them on LinkedIn? Edit - I’m a UX designer
It depends on interview performance, sometimes the recruiter feels that it's better to have a team matched before going to hiring committee and other times for strong candidates they don't mind either way
post here what your skills are and you might grab some loser hm’s attention
I just got my offer after 8 months of team match. For my role and level there were lots of openings in MV but I wanted to stay in Seattle. Just be patient and wait for the right match to come along!
Did you get a lot of teams reach out from MTV compared to Seattle?
Yes - if I had wanted to move to MTV I think I would have matched in under a month.
It took me about a month and a half with very positive feedback. Just don't freak out. If you make it through HC you've made it through the hard part. I had a lot of stress about team match and not getting an offer before I knew it I had three teams to pick from. Just make sure you're putting on your best face for the team matches. There's a lot of luck because some teams are hiring like crazy and don't care who they take, and others are just trying to fill one spot.
How likely are the chances if the recruiter is trying to do the team match first before going to the HC? I am in a similar boat, onsites completed 2 week back and doing the team match
How many team matches over the past 2 weeks ? I too got my on-sites completed a week back
You should both ask your recruiter if HC has happened yet. HC is the big filter, so if you're through that you have a lot less to worry about.
Oh no! Sorry to hear. I think you’ll be ok. More headcount will be opening up.
Any updates? Are you still in team matching?
