Since the number of interviews a candidate has had to go through was a deterrent in some cases, Google has reduced the number of interviews from 6.2 to 5.1 on average (Delaney, 2006). The former number of interviews could have been as many as eight (Delaney, 2006).

Furthermore, Google is toying with changes including an abbreviated hiring process which would allow them to give a job offer to a candidate after just two interviews (Delaney, 2006). While this is risky to do, Google believes it will create a much larger pool of candidates and will enable them to bring in ‘new blood,’ so to speak, to the company.

Some of the benefits offered by Google include free transportation, unlimited sick days, free healthcare, gourmet food, annual all-expense-paid trips, bonuses,
