Here's How Google Tests If You're The Right Fit For The Job

BANGALORE: The company that disseminates maximum information and data to the web users definitely investigates and analyzes upon every employee they recruit.

Google's Senior Vice President of People Operations, Laszlo Bock explains that numbers and math like GPA and test scores are not the milestones considered while hiring in Google. Though these make the process of hiring easier, the focus is different.

In an interview with New York Times, he said, "Academic environments are artificial environments. People who succeed there are sort of finely trained; they’re conditioned to succeed in that environment.

Among the two million applicants in Google every year, the short listed ones undergo six weeks of continuous assessment, before getting hired. They are screened by their immediate boss, colleague, hiring manager and lastly Google CEO Larry Page.

But what exactly are the parameters on which Google determines it’s ‘would be employees’? Here’s a report on the talents you need to equip, in order to have the Google employee I-card, as Economic Times reports:

Don’t stress

Interview stress has been referred to by various terms like ‘performance anxiety’, ‘interview anxiety’ ‘fear of inhibition’ and more. Insomnia, pounding heart and sweaty palms are symptoms of stress that many experienced interviewee still have.

Google’s internal tool qDroid arranges behavioral and situational questions for interviewee depending on the position he has applied for. Hence, to be apt and reasonable in such on spot unpredictable questions, it’s important that you don’t focus on trembling, stammering or compulsive attitude.

 Bock himself suggests would be employees to remain stress free during Google interviews.
