Our hiring process
We know hiring processes can seem overwhelming, but we don’t want you to feel overwhelmed at Google. We want all candidates – from entry level to leadership – to have access to the same information and resources (after all, our mission is to organize the world’s information and make it universally accessible and useful).
Google’s hiring process is an important part of our culture. Googlers care deeply about their teams and the people who make them up. We also care about building a more representative and inclusive workplace, and that begins with hiring. In order to truly build for everyone, we know that we need a diversity of perspectives and experiences, and a fair hiring process is the first step in getting there.
Job searching
Once you’ve taken some time to focus on what you’re looking for, you can get a better idea of who we are, what we’re about, and what it’s like to work at Google.
We want you to focus on the jobs that delight you and that you match as opposed to submitting dozens of applications (it’s tempting, but it doesn’t work well — trust us). Quality, not quantity, is the way to go.
Interviews
If a Recruiting team member believes you might be a match for a job you’ve applied for, you’ll enter our hiring process.
Applying to Google
Ready to apply for an internship or a full-time job at Google? Here’s what you’ll need:
An updated resume
A transcript from your university (unofficial is fine)
In some cases, a cover letter, short essay, or additional information listed in the job description
Focus on your resume
Your resume is the first piece of information we’ll see about you. Here’s how to highlight your achievements:
Align your skills and experience with the internship or job description
Be specific about projects you’ve worked on or managed. What was the outcome? How did you measure success?
If you’ve had a leadership role in a volunteer organization or at a part-time job, tell us about it. How big was the team? What was the scope of your work?
Include projects or coursework that demonstrate relevant skills and knowledge. This may include GPA — check the job description carefully for requirements
Keep it short: Aim for one page. If there’s additional information we need during the hiring process, (like a portfolio), your recruiter will work with you to collect it
Prepare for the interview process
Once you’ve submitted your application online, our staffing team will review your resume, transcript, and any supplementary materials
The next step in the process is a series of interviews—which may be on the phone, via video conference, or in person—to assess your skills
For technical interviews, practice coding on a whiteboard, in Google Docs, or over the phone. You can find sample coding questions on sites like CodeLab, Quora, and Stack Overflow. The book “Cracking the Coding Interview” is also a good resource
Structure your interview answers: It’s important to show how you arrive at a solution, so think out loud
Helpful questions to think about as you prepare:
How do you work best, both as an individual and as part of a team?
What challenges have you faced at school or at work and how did you overcome them?
Which of your skills or experiences would be assets in the role and why?
If you don’t understand a question, ask your interviewers for clarification and take the time you need with responses.
