I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Google (New York, NY) in Jan 2014
Interview
HIred through a temp agency (Adecco). They hit you with the basic prescreenings -- resume, staffing agent interview, drug test -- then you meet a GSX rep within the group interview.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Group interviews for the positions, so they're pretty much looking for the best stories based on questions like "tell me a time you went above and beyond for a customer/client".
