How to get referred at Google

  1. Step 1

    Find the exact role

    Open the job on google.com and copy the job link and job ID. Referrers can only submit you for a specific opening.

  2. Step 2

    Pick the right referrer

    Choose a verified Google employee (fees from ₹500). Someone in the same team or function can speak to your fit more credibly.

  3. Step 3

    Send a focused request

    Attach a resume tailored to the role and a three- or four-line note on why you fit. Lead with experience that matches what Google tests, such as Dynamic Programming and Graph BFS/DFS & Dijkstra.

  4. Step 4

    Get referred and track it

    Once they accept and you pay, they submit you through Google's internal referral portal and upload proof. Your payment is held until that proof is in.

Google tip: Google lets you apply to up to three roles in a 30-day window. Pick roles at the same level and send all the job links together so your referrer can submit them at once.
