2.1.1 Recruitment Practices across the Tech Industry.
Aside from building a strong employment brand, Google is able to attract quality talents from around the globe through employee referral (employees can earn up to $5,000) and tools such as Google Code Jam (a competition where programmers solve coding challenges), and Google Games (students team-up and solve puzzles). In 2011, these tools have helped Google get over a million applications from around the globe. (Barber, 2012) Apple banks on its strong branding to attract employees. Interested applicants visit its Careers page and can apply for any of the positions available. These are in retail, corporate, engineering and research. Apple recruiting is very precise in a sense that the company takes an innovative recruitment process in such a way to get the best candidates as possible. For example, one candidate experience three screenings, five "FaceTime" interviews (30-minute long process) and an in-person visit (Geier, 2015). The interviews seemed based on casual and indirect questioning (Rossi, 2015). The company also holds internships where students can earn and even get free housing during the process. .
Samsung's branding has also made the company a top choice for applicants, especially in Asia. In 2014, the company announced that it will overhaul its recruitment process following huge volume of applications and students going beyond normal means to pass the Samsung aptitude test. "It is to diversify the recruitment process by types of occupations, as opposed to the uniform, test-based programme," Lee Jun, Samsung's communications chief noted.
