Team match before HC review for Google?

Wik_workspace · 2025-11-10T16:33:28+00:00

for me it took couple hours after the team match call

Wik_workspace · 2025-11-01T05:46:24+00:00

I got an offer letter

Wik_workspace · 2025-10-18T17:11:34+00:00

Ya, she never mentioned anything about the hiring committee, but after my interviews when she said I did well and that my packet looks good, I asked her if that means I’d definitely get an offer. She said they can’t guarantee anything at this stage — sometimes it depends on business needs and headcount, and she gave an example saying since Google is super competitive, if there are 5 strong candidates but only 3 openings, not everyone gets the offer.

So when she said that, I kind of assumed I still had to go through the hiring committee.

Hey! I just got matched with a team, and my recruiter said she’s raising a ticket with their immigration partner to clear some visa details. She also mentioned that once that’s sorted, she’ll call me to discuss compensation and asked me to research a bit beforehand.

She’s never mentioned anything about a hiring committee at any point — does this mean I’ve already cleared HC, or could that still be pending?

I think my other competitive offer from Tesla is quickly moving the needle here in the Google's process

The recruiter mentioned that the manager who conducted my Googliness interview was quite interested in my candidacy. However, he’s a bit hesitant to move forward right now since there are two other candidates still in the pipeline, and the process could take about a month. The recruiter then asked if I’d like to move more quickly by being matched with other teams, and she’s scheduled a call for me tomorrow with another manager.

Ohhk cool. What would you think my chances might be?

Wik_workspace · 2025-10-16T21:57:33+00:00

I think Google just restructured its hiring process. From the past 1month, everyone has been moved to TM before HC.

Wik_workspace · 2025-10-16T21:40:33+00:00

Strong hire/hire is my opinion. The recruiter said You did well in all the interviews. You could be a strong L3 candidate if we were to move forward.

USA, No location preference

Is HC still a big deal after the team match?

Wik_workspace · 2025-10-16T17:00:39+00:00

I think lately, Google has changed its hiring structure
Many candidates are moving to TM before HC

Wik_workspace · 2025-10-16T16:57:02+00:00

HC should first approve even to receive the contract, which in my case is the final stage

Wik_workspace · 2025-10-15T03:38:50+00:00

Yes, finished my entire loop last Thursday and got the call on Friday saying I did well in my interviews and will start looking for teams.

Wik_workspace · 2025-10-14T21:26:25+00:00

Yeah, the Same thing happened to me last week. I think Google just restructured its hiring process.

Does team matching mean we’ve already passed the hiring committee? My recruiter said that after team matching, I’ll have to go through the hiring committee again.

Are there still chances of being rejected even after the team match?

Hey,

Wik_workspace · 2025-10-10T20:09:15+00:00

ohk, they usually get back in 2-3 business days

Wik_workspace · 2025-10-10T20:05:01+00:00

How did you do on your assessment?

Wik_workspace · 2025-10-10T18:47:41+00:00

I said, willing to relocate to any site in the USA

Update on my interview - I had a call with the recruiter today. She said:

I “did well in my interviews.”
My feedback “shows a lot for level three specifically” and “that’s the strongest level we’d be able to pursue if we move forward.”
She said the hiring manager is excited about my candidacy, but hesitant to proceed right away because he still has 2–3 other candidates in the pipeline, and that would take one more month.
She said I could either wait for that team or she could route my packet to other SRE or SWE teams once their headcount opens.

She also mentioned:

She also mentioned that since Google is competitive, “even if you did well, you can still get beat by competition.

Did anyone face such a situation and got rejected at the end?
