Yes, they are hiring but they are also making extremely strong pushes to
bring in lots of resumes.  You have a better chance of getting accepted
as an undergrad at Harvard or Stanford than you do at getting hired at
Google.  And rumors have it that if you are over about 35 and haven't
done something of national note yet your resume will probably be
shuffled aside.  And if you make it through the process and get hired -
Well I think MicroSerfs (by Douglas Coupland) could be updated.

All,

  Not sure if anyone would be interested, but it seems Google is hiring
like mad.  Thought I would pass it along.  

  The recruiter, Catherine, is really cool.  Feel free to drop her an
email if you're interested..

HI Jason,
 
I found your information online and apologize for the unsolicited email.
My name is Catherine Hansen, and I'm a recruiter for the Google.com
Engineering Leadership Group at Google.  This team is responsible for
supporting Google infrastructure as a whole, from systems high
availability
to software production and the deployment of our innovative products and
services. As we continue to grow, we are in need of bright leaders like
you
to drive the engineering changes on our team. 
 
I wanted to see if you may be interested in exploring engineering
opportunities with us.   We are seeking talented leaders and individual
contributors who also have hybrid, and current, expertise in coding,
algorithms, and UNIX/Linux networking to join our rapidly growing
organization.      We also look for experience with internet services
delivery and large scale distributed systems.  Management positions on
this
team are very hands-on, so we need someone who wants to remain in the
trenches as well as serve as mentor to a team of our engineers.

 

We have positions open in the US in Mountain View (CA), Santa Monica
(CA),
New York City, and Seattle, as well as Dublin (Ireland) and Bangalore
(India).  We could relocate you to any of these locations of your
choice.  I
am enclosing job descriptions of two positions that may interest you.  

 

If you feel that any of these positions is something that may be of
interest
to you, please send me an email so we can schedule a time to talk for
half
an hour or so.   If you are not interested or available, but would like
to
forward my name and contact information to your friends or colleagues,
that
would be great as well. 

 

Thanks and hope to hear from you soon.
