Google Recruiting Via www.google.com/foobar/ ?

Just came to know that #-Link-Snipped-# is Google's hidden recruiting website. The things aren't very straightforward, obviously. Here's how I think it works:-

  • Google keeps track of what information you are searching for online.
  • If it finds out that you are typing in advanced Python or Java related queries for some time, it will show you a mystery box by splitting up the results page and ask you whether you want to take the challenge. (See Picture Below).
  • If you say yes, you will be taken to the above mentioned URL. It will then ask you to login and show a programming puzzle. You will have about 48 hours to submit your solution. The system auto-tests the solution you have submitted and will ask you to take up next challenge.
  • If you submit correct solutions to about five or six challenges, the system will ask you to submit your contact information.
  • A Google recruiter will then contact you to ask for your resume; and then you will be interviewed at Google HQ.
