The right candidate understands that Google is successful for reasons beyond being a good product. He/she knows it s all about execution of bold ideas. In fact, you might have been someone who was #2 or 3 at Google or a Google-like enterprise. You have a solid educational background and an urge to make a phenomenal success of your career. The following should help you decide if this is for you:
(1) We are highly selective about who we hire because of the nature of the opportunity. We can t waste our time. We re not looking to manage an employee. We need someone who will be a core member of the team that takes this to the next level. Of the 80 or so people we have interviewed, most are looking for a conventional job. You are clearly not.
(2) You might have an MBA from a recognized B-school or your recent work history reflects your talent and drive. You are the type of person who would have started your own company, except you don t know how to build technology. We are that group that complements you.
(3) You might consider reading Hardball: Five Killer Strategies for Trouncing the Competition in the April-04 issue of Harvard Business Review. If the article gets you excited, we re looking for you.
