I’ve been in touch with a recruiter who wants me to interview for a Group PM role. Our conversation keeps getting pushed with him citing lack of clarity with hiring. Has anyone been able to move past recruiter convo into the interviews in Product in January? Is Google hiring or did they freeze with the layoffs last week? TC 219k YOE 16 total, 7 in Product, 4 @С1
Finished 3 interviews in January with the last being one day before the layoffs. Still no word from the recruiter yet, I’m giving them some time and will prolly reach out next week to follow up in case they don’t.
Thank you, and good luck! When did you first talk with a Google recruiter? Mine reached out on 12/16.
12th of December first email and 19th of January 4th and final interview.
Group PM for which team?
Messages. It was cancelled, and per the recruiter, he hasn’t gotten more comparable positions open to offer yet.
Ouch. Sorry, bruh.
I interviewed for a GPM role a couple weeks ago, still waiting for feedback from the onsite, but haven't received clarity on what roles are still available
Did you interview without a team match? I thought they changed the process and you need a team before onsite
I had a team match last month, but have no idea if that role was filled or cancelled since then
Passed the phone screen at the end of November. Still waiting for the team match (~L4-L5). Got an update from the recruiter a couple of days ago that they're waiting for info about what positions they're going to hire for.
Hiring has been frozen since late December. Anyone with an approved or accepted offer can move forward but new offers aren’t being made except in very very limited circumstances- like PA lead exception approval required. I heard it might get lifted in mid February but decent chance it keeps on going for a while.
I passed onsites and still in TM… no chance they hire anytime soon. I was told they are only hiring internal
I had something similar happen with Spotify. I went through one round with the recruiter. Next the hiring manager interview date was scheduled, rescheduled then just canceled. It all happened around the time Spotify announced layoffs. I reached out to the recruiter and got an auto reply back that he was no longer with the company😬. I wouldn’t get my hopes up…
Honestly, I bet the recruiters don’t know which roles are open right now. There is definitely a hiring slowdown and that will continue.
Same here. All frozen, it seems
Aren’t there a ton of openings online? Could you please share more info
I just made progress in the hiring process and suddenly got frozen and recruiting is not answering anymore 😂
What is your YOE @Capital One?
