Even the engineers that actually work on googles production systems can't access other peoples gmail/whatever accounts (that is technically _and_ policy-wise). Certainly not any random recruiter. How do you imagine this would work? Thousands of google employees that can just look into their boyfriends email?

They make it pretty clear that event the higher ups/etc will never ever look into specific private accounts and anybody attempting to do so will be fired on the spot.
