0: Hi, I'm Brinleigh and I'm a Business Recruiter at Google.

3: And I'm Okwus, a Technical Recruiter at Google.

5: We're going to take a couple minutes to walk you through how we hire at Google for

9: all of our jobs, and share helpful details to prepare you for the experience!

13: The first step is getting your application to us.

15: Start by browsing open jobs around the world on our Careers site and find up to three jobs

19: that match your skills and interests.

21: Try to focus on roles where you meet all of the minimum qualifications, and ideally some

25: of the preferred.

26: Now, it's time to get your resume ready.

29: Check out the video in the description for our tips on how to make your resume stand

32: out!

33: One thing to point out here is that we don't require degrees from certain universities

37: (or a university at all, depending on the role) and your GPA is only part of your application

43: if you're a recent grad.

45: After you submit your application, we have a team of highly-trained pros who look over

49: your resume and connect the dots between your experience and roles at Google.

53: There's no one kind of Googler, so we're always looking for people who bring new perspectives

57: and life experiences that'll help us build stronger teams, products, and services for

61: all of our users.

63: We really care about making this part of the process fair and effective, so these reviewers

68: focus on each candidate instead of each application for a specific job.

73: Once your resume is reviewed, you may hear from a recruiter.

76: If you don't hear from us in a few weeks, you can assume that we're moving forward with

81: other candidates unless otherwise noted - but we might reach out in the future if another

85: role is a match.

87: After a recruiter reaches out to you, phone calls are usually next.

91: Typically, we'll chat and learn more about you, your interests, experience, etc.

95: You may then have phone interviews with Googlers that are more specific to the job or team.

102: For technical roles, this often means coding interviews, and for business roles they'll

106: focus on skills and experience specific to the job you applied for.

109: The next step is onsite interviews at Google - a really exciting day.

115: You'll usually have four 45-minute interviews where you meet a variety of Googlers, demonstrate

121: your abilities, and have time to ask questions about your interviewer, the role, and the team.

126: You may also have lunch with a Googler to learn more about what it's like to work here.

130: Now, let's talk through other important things to know about interviews.

134: We use vetted, high-quality questions that are tailored to the job you've applied for

137: and challenging (in a good way).

139: So don't worry, you won't be asked any brainteaser questions - our research shows

144: these types of questions aren't useful for assessing you!

147: All interviewers are trained and use standardized rubrics so that they're consistent and confident

152: in their assessments.

153: Regardless of the job you've applied for, there are four attributes we look for.

157: First is general cognitive ability.

159: We want to hire smart people who can learn and adapt to new situations, so this is about

164: how you learn and solve hard problems in real life, not about GPAs or test scores.

169: Second is role-related knowledge.

171: It's pretty straightforward - we want to make sure you have the experience, background,

174: and skills that'll set you up for success in the role.

179: Third is leadership.

180: We don't just look at job titles, since different team members will need to step into

183: leadership roles and contribute.

185: We look for examples of things like being a team player and navigating challenges to

189: make an impact.

190: And last, but not least, is Googleyness.

193: We want to make sure you can thrive here, so we look for signs of comfort with ambiguity,

198: bias to action, and a collaborative nature.

201: After interviews, your recruiter will share your interview feedback and scores, resume,

206: references, and any work samples you submitted with a hiring committee.

210: Hiring committees bring together Googlers who know the role best, but haven't met

213: any of the applicants, to offer a comprehensive, unbiased review.

218: If the committee recommends we hire you, that recommendation and all of your info is sent

222: to a senior leader-who provides another layer of objectivity-for final review.

227: If everything is approved, your recruiter will get in touch to make an offer!

232: And that's how we hire here at Google!

233: Check out the links in the description for more resources to help you prepare, and head

237: over to the Careers site to see our open jobs.

239: We hope to see your application soon!
