I want to post my resume here but it's a fact that nerds will Google search phrases in it to find my LinkedIn which is basically identical. And I do not want that.

cheque_some posted:There has to be some kind of economic indicator of how many recruiter messages you get in a day. I think I got 5 in the last 24 hours. Through the grapevine chat with in-house recruiters suggests that it's more just business cycle stuff: recruiters (especially those employed by companies in a growth spurt) get quarterly and annual targets for inbound candidates. If it's near the end of the quarter and they're not meeting their target for some particular req, they'll be more liberal in how many "hey, I'm rando recruiter here's our company pitch" messages they send. Earlier in the quarter they'll try to mostly use referrals, especially for candidates that closely meet the job description, but as pickings get slim they send feelers out to any linkedin profile that looks maybe viable. Quarter-end behavior is further amplified around the end of the business year. General economic trends influence how many recruiters with a bunch of unfilled reqs exist and will increase/decrease how many contacts you get, but when the contacts happen is still pretty cyclical.

a recruiter from google reached out to me directly last friday and gently caress it let’s see where this goes. the last time i interviewed with them it went horribly but that was just due to crazy circumstance rather than anything else. the problem now, if you can call it that, is that i’m extremely happy with my current job and it’ll take a lot for them to convince me to switch. i normally ignore recruiters even from semi-prominent companies and i’m only talking to them because they’re google. i’m just trying to think up of a way to diplomatically tell them this without coming across as a smug rear end in a top hat but also making sure they get the point because i don’t want to waste my time if they’re not serious. i’m really busy with work and i know googles process is time consuming

google's hiring process is hosed and they're just going to waste your time. best case is you get to go work on a backend system for storing PII that's sold to advertisers.

I'm in the process of looking and responded to a recruiter from google that reached out on linkedin. I have about 10 years experience writing geospatial data processing systems so maybe it could be something cool. It was effectively a tech support position. Oof, my ego  On the bright side, I'm chatting with a major agtech company that sounds like they're doing some really cool stuff, so I hope that goes somewhere. edit: About finding something great at Google... I seriously doubt you will. I have some friends there and they describe a bleak, intensely bureaucratic scene. The best case is you'd be working on a team hyper-focused on one particular aspect of a (probably dull) product, using a bunch of in house tools to integrate half working code from other teams.

my vibe from google (have not worked there just from people I know) is that it’s absolutetly infested with the kind of smart people who are incessantly trying to assert how much more intelligent (or hardworking, productive, etc) they are than their colleagues (who do the same), and the bonus/promotion culture there seems to reinforce that kind of behavior. it just all seems incredibly toxic to me and especially not worth it when your company exists to sell people’s personal info apologies to any google peeps if you’ve found this to not be the case

One of my hobbies has become engaging with and then ghosting 3rd party recruiters and it's pretty much the only reason I still have a linkedin.

Bloody posted:how the gently caress do i do a phone screen im supposed to screen someone this week the only question you're answering is "is it worth flying this person out and burning X hours from Y engineers/managers for an onsite" the bar can be really low. you want some of the normal "is this resume a pack of lies" I've done all of the following on systems phone screens: 1) function to convert big-to-little endian 2) shared code pad, simple coding exercises like popcount/word count (note that word count is not counting spaces) 3) shared word doc, drew up a block diagram for a fitness tracker at the end of 30~60 minutes, you need enough signal to justify bringing them on-site or ending the process

Bloody posted:how the gently caress do i do a phone screen im supposed to screen someone this week - verify that they have time for the call - what are you looking for in your job search - any questions about the position or the company verify their use of required technologies by asking questions of absolutely basic everyday knowledge, e.g. when does a finally block run, what's a foreign key constraint, what happens when a web server sends a page with a <script> tag (that last one might be too subtle, the idea is to check whether they know that the browser, not the server, executes the script) - tell them when they can expect to hear back Gazpacho fucked around with this message at 13:07 on Jul 24, 2018 |

it gives you a sense of whether the candidate is clever enough to think up a suitable non-response for standard questions ahead of time. see also, "why are you leaving your current job?" but agreed, it's essentially a useless question.

i need help decoding some standard interview-speak: when interviewing candidates sometimes they'll ask "what's your day to day like?" and i know that "idk, come to work, do work, go home" is not an acceptable answer to this, but i'm not sure what they're actually asking.

Do you do a daily standup meeting, at what time? How much time do you spend in meetings? How much time do you spend code reviewing vs programming vs pair programming? Do people take long lunch breaks, or everyone eats at their desk?
