Forum Overview :: Lively: Google Creates Something Terrible
 
Google's hiring process by of COURSE it's too many steps 08/05/2021, 3:35pm PDT
Dude posts on LinkedIn about pulling out of application due to ridiculous, nebulous number of interviews required.

BBC wrote:

Five companies told him they had to delay hiring because of Covid-19 – but only after he’d done the final round of interviews. Another three invited him for several rounds of interviews until it was time to make an offer, at which point they decided to promote internally. Then, he made it through three rounds of interviews for a director-level position at a company he really liked, only to receive an email to co-ordinate six more rounds.

“When I responded to the internal HR, I even asked, ‘Are these the final rounds?’,” he says. “The answer I got back was: ‘We don’t know yet’.”


A streamlined hiring process gives a company an edge in a competitive employment market. Google, for example, recently examined its past interview data and determined that four interviews was enough to make a hiring decision with 86% confidence, noting that there was a diminishing return on interviewer feedback thereafter. Previously, candidates applying for a job at Google could be subjected to more than a dozen interviews. The number of people involved in the process has also been reduced, because Google found that four interviewers could make the same hiring decisions that a larger number of interviewers had in the past.



Google, patting itself on the back for taking 15+ years to figure out that hires can be made in under a dozen interviews by only 4 people. I'm surprised it didn't involve a Pee-wee style Rube Goldberg machine in the lobby just to get through the door.

The dozen interviews was still an improvement over their intern to hire process.
