    'Google admitted that it was having difficulties recruiting developers and would be targeting students and engineers.'

    Yeah, they finally had to acknowledge that the previous recruiting strategy of targeting florists and mime-artists just wasn't panning out, code quality-wise.

    Perhaps they should reconsider requiring six or seven interviews involving people from three different countries and an elapsed time of two to three months?

    I understand they only want to hire good people but good people will probably get a stack of written job offers before Google gets anywhere near making a decision.
