Omid Korestani has now bid farewell to Google to join Twitter Twitter Inc. has been successful in poaching Mr. Omid Kodestani- an executive at Google Inc. Mr. Omid will now head the social media department of the company as the executive chairman. This comes as a turnaround strategy by Twitter who is trying to redeem itself under the leadership of Jack Dorsey who has now been confirmed as the official CEO. Many analysts believe that Mr. Kordestani has a lot of sales experience which can result in becoming a turning point with the insights, vision and knowledge of Jack Dorsey. Mr. Kodestani mentioned in a tweet, “It's rare you get to be in a company with an amazing business that's also transforming the world.” He further added, "I've had the good fortune to be at three: Netscape, @google, and now @twitter." Kordestani is said to be the current senior adviser at the search engine giant. So now he is all geared up to join Twitter and will be taking up an operational role in the social media company. According to a spokesperson from Twitter, Mr. Kordestani will have the responsibility to assist the board along with recruiting employees. Moreover, he will also advise the executive leadership on various issues. As per Twitter, they are further mentioned that they will recruit someone from the outside world as the chairman since Mr. Dorsey is heading to companies simultaneously. This initiative by Twitter is actually a big dent on Google since Mr. Kordestani is respected at the company and was handling an important domain. The announcement turned about to be a positive ray of hope for Twitter since the company’s stocks which were down by 18% this year, rose by 1% after this news penetrated in the market. This announcement can actually result in several changes in the company’s board of director which has been criticized for a relatively long period of time for having numerous former CEOs of Twitter. Many analysts and investors now believe that this is the reason why the company has failed to engage several high level executives. Twitter is now devoted to reuniting growth since over the previous quarter they embraced a negligible growth since the time they have gone public in FY13. Moreover, news has been penetrating where the company might lay off 8 per cent of its total workforce merely comprising of product and engineer employees. James Cakmak who is an analyst at Monness, Crespi, Hardt & Co. stated, "(Kordestani) has incredible business acumen and can help fine-tune the strategy and attract talent to Twitter.”

Bidness ETC - Here's What You Need To Be A Part of Google Inc

Certain that can make you a Google employee are here.

Google Inc. the search engine giant is one of those companies that have one of the most diverse portfolios. The company has undertaken several ventures that have contributed positively to their growth and performance. Likewise, Google stocks are also doing fairly well making their position to strengthen even more in the market.

The trajectory at which Google is growing is merely because of the fact that they value human resource. Any organization that wishes to flourish certainly needs to give the right amount of confidence to their workers so that they take such initiatives that help the company achieve its target.

Despite how appealing a job at Google might seem, there are certain traits that are required in a Google employee so if you think you have it all in you then Google is your next job destination.

Firstly, those who wish to be a part of Google that has and will continue to change lives globally need to understand that fitting the culture of the company is extremely important. Google is one of those companies that despite massive growth still wish to govern like a bunch of startups interconnected to one another rather than operating like a corporation.

The strategy helps them to remain focused to their goal and not get baffled by the glamor of their progress.

However, according to Laszlo Bock, the chief official heading human resource, those who qualify for an interview with Google do not really need to be nervous because they think they won’t be able to fit in. the only thing they are required to do is push out ideas that might add to the company’s portfolio and will help them thrive growth.

One of the most important things for them is the person so don’t wear a suit to make an impression.

To sum it all up, Google considers two things when they are actually deciding if an individual is a perfect fit for the company or not. These things are “intellectual humility” and “conscientiousness” which he mentioned in an interview.

Bock explains this by saying, at many places “cultural fit” is primarily dealing with candidates like him. However, at Google the case is slightly different where they expect individuals that add something new to the company. They do not need conventional ideas but require something different and innovative. Apart from this, conscientiousness is extremely important because it gives the employee ownership coupled with intellectual humility that gives the dignity to an employee to actually admit that something lacked or went wrong.
