Ask HN: How do Google recruiters work?

Given that this is a Google recruiter, disappointment with perhaps a vague sense of misuse.

It's about as exciting as having sent in your resume and hearing back from them. So not nothing, but don't picture yourself getting chair massages while sipping draft kombucha just yet.

You'll chat with a recruiter then get scheduled for a phone screen, which may lead to an in person interview. Pretty standard stuff.

If you don't have a copy of Cracking The Coding Interview I'd suggest getting one. Also:

Slowly. Very. Very. Slowly.

(Also, no matter what anyone says, at least until you have a written offer, they can and will decline you at any time. Be careful.)
