About Google Careers : Resource Management

At Google, information drives all of our decision-making, and our HR association is no exception.

The team provides critical support to the business around issues of organizational health and is responsible for not just taking the pulse of our Googlers, but harnessing Googler feedback to drive change for the better.

As an examiner, you'll be meticulous and honest, analytical and curious. You're a solid problem-solver, who uses both quantitative and qualitative methods to get things done. And on top of it all, you're someone who wonders "What if?" and then seeks out the solution.
