People News. Google
People News. Google: Google is a creative company. A year ago we read a report about their hiring tactics. The article described an instance where a complex math equation was posted on a billboard that provided a clue to a website that had another equation that ultimately lead to another website suggesting that the person apply for a position at Google. They're looking for outside the box thinkers. With more than 3 thousand resumes submitted a day, the competition is steep. And, it can only increase because Fortune Magazine named them the number one place to work in America.

Now, like an Ivy League school, it is starting to look for more well-rounded candidates, like those who have published books or started their own clubs. Desperate to hire more engineers and sales representatives to staff its rapidly growing search and advertising business, Google — in typical eccentric fashion — has created an automated way to search for talent among the more than 100,000 job applications it receives each month."
