Google HR Director, Stacy Sullivan and the recruiting team continuously develop

creative approaches and restructure the recruiting tools.

They have developed an algorithm which evaluates the potential success of the candidates and helps in resolving the major drawbacks in the assessment methodology that rely on academic

grades, degree from ‘top’ schools, prior industry experience and subjective

interview results.

Google recruitment has a ratio of 1 recruiter for

every 14 employees which helps them to concentrate more on the individuals.
