"Python lambda function list comprehension," Max Rosett typed in a Google search query and what happened next ended in Rosett getting a job offer from the tech giant.
Rosett, who after being a management consultant and working for a startup was honing his computing skills through Georgia Tech's online Master's in computer science program. While working on a project, Rosett googled the search query and the search results page folded up to ask him, "You're speaking our language. Up for a challenge?"
Not knowing what it would lead to, Rosett took up the challenge that took him to a page that asked him to solve a series of programming problems. After a couple of weeks of solving those problems the page asked him for his contact information and a few days later he got an email asking for his resume.
What followed was Google's much-documented recruiting process and at the end of it Rosett had a job offer from Google that he "enthusiastically accepted".
In a post on The Hustle, Rosett says that though he had the software skills he lacked the confidence to apply for an engineering role but Google thought otherwise." I thought I wasn't ready to apply for a job at Google. Google disagreed," he says in the post.
Rosett's experience reveals one of the many secret ways in which Google's recruiting process works.
