Creative advertising from Google

A few days ago I happened to see a great example of smart and original advertising Google is doing right in these days to hire engineers.

I like these ads. They get my attention and being a bit off the norm probably also get them some attention from the media. Allthough it doesn't do much, in terms of direct exposure of a brand, unless you're willing to solve the problem (or google it!). It certainly is a nice way to go about screening people who might want to apply for a job at G.

 

This is very old news.

 

Yep. I Googled for the answer and found out this news is well over a year old so the website no longer works

 

i thought that's the way they hire ppl at google ( it's been their tradition of some sort ..)
