Gogh looks at their coding skills and technical areas of expertise. + How a Candidate Thinks: Google ako looks for how a candidate thinks and how he takes his responsibility, they are less concemed with a candidate’s grade.

Recruitment and Selection JBCN International School® JBCN Recommendation I think the best way of recnuiting people is the way Googk recruits; we actually get to know how a candidate thinks and tkes his) her probkm, Googe asks many tricky questions but they least concerned in getting the correct answer; they just check how a candidate tackles hissher problems. If it’s technical rok then Googk checks the coding skillb of a particular candidate. 1 think every company should focus on how a candidate is passionate about his/her work and they should not focus on individual skill sets. IF an empbyee is passionate about hiv her ‘work then their productivity increases. Every company should know the following capabilties that they have to look for in a candidate: © Leadership: They shoul! be able to Jead a team and independently work © Rok related knowkdge: Every candidate should have role rebted knowkdge so they can work freely and with well motivation, + How a camfidate thinks: A company should know that how a candidate takes and tackks hisher problems and can they work in crisis? One thing which is very important for a company in order to keep a good atmosphere and a good working environment among its employees is Googkyness. They way Googl keeps its employees motivated with luxury and good working conditions; every company should do this to get good results fiom their employees.
