First, you need to apply online.

Required steps include submitting a resume and cover letter, contacting the recruiting manager, and then going through the online assessment.

They send you an automated email to confirm if they received your application. This is the email I received:

Thanks for applying to Google!

There are a ton of great companies out there, so we appreciate your interest in joining our team.

While we’re not able to reach out to every applicant, our recruiting team will contact you if your skills and experience are a strong match for the role.

In the meantime, join the conversation about job opportunities and life at Google on our Google+ page.

Thanks,

Google Staffing

In the online assessment, it asked if I was okay to filter through explicit content as a quality evaluator.
