      Recruiter Interview

      9 Jul 2015
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Phoenix, AZ
      Declined offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Google (Phoenix, AZ) in May 2015

      Interview

      I was contacted by a recruiter to set up time for a "chat", this took about 3 weeks to get scheduled because the recruiter didn't respond back to my emails. After this "chat", I was scheduled to talk with another recruiter who, same as the first recruiter, didn't return my emails in a timely manner. Once we set up time for a "chat", she didn't answer my phone call and I left a voicemail. She called me back a few days later and said she was busy on the day we scheduled to meet. When I talked to the second recruiter, she spent 5 minutes telling me about the job and asked me about my experience and background. After this, she asked me if I had questions, and I asked my questions, but she answered them with one or two words, she was rushing me off the phone and didn't have time for my questions. After this "chat", (they never called this an interview the whole time), they set up a third "chat" to ask some interview, behavioral type of questions. The person I talked to for phone call number 3 had just started at Google, right out of college and the first thing he said to me was "I am not sure why they asked me to do this, I just started here". His questions were the standard textbook - "Tell me what you would do if....", "If you were in this situation, would you do A, B, or C", really stupid questions. When I asked him to tell me more about himself and his experience, he said he had just graduated from college, no experience with interviewing, and he rushed me off of the phone too. I decided that I didn't want to work at Google, what a bunch of incompetent, rude, arrogant people who thinks everyone wants to work at such a "great" company like google. Now I understand why nice, hard working people don't work there for long.

      Recruiter Interview

      18 Mar 2026
      Anonymous employee
      London, England
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Google (London, England)

      Interview

      Smooth sailing. The recruiter was communicative and kept me up to date throughout. Pretty clear the teams here are packed with smart people. Googleyness interview was actually quite fun, but the GCA one was pretty tricky.

      Design onboarding. How do you use AI.

      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Google (Singapore) in Mar 2026

      Interview

      Structured, rigorous, and well-organized process with clear evaluation criteria. Thoughtful interviewers, strong focus on problem-solving and communication, smooth coordination, and a professional, candidate-friendly experience throughout. Really enjoyable process overall with friendly and approachable interviewers.

      Recruiter Interview

      23 Jan 2026
      Anonymous interview candidate
      New York, NY
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Google (New York, NY)

      Interview

      I applied, then had a recruiter screen. After that, I went through two interviews focused on sourcing and stakeholder management, followed by a virtual onsite with four interviews. Each interviewer tested one competency. Maybe there would be more stages but I didn't pass the fourth one.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      “Walk me through how you would build a pipeline for a hard-to-fill role.” “Tell me about a time you disagreed with a hiring manager. What did you do?” “How do you evaluate candidate quality beyond a resume?” “How do you prioritize when you’re managing multiple roles with competing deadlines?” “Describe a time you had to close a candidate who was hesitant.” “How do you use data to improve your recruiting process?” “Tell me about a hire that didn’t work out. What did you learn?” “Why Google, and why recruiting here specifically?”
