Oh this is good to know. I would recommend asking the recruiter directly if you passed HC.

For borderline candidates what they do is wait until a hiring manager is interested in your profile before moving to HC. They do this because if a hiring manager already wants you on their team, then your chance of passing HC increases.

In any case I think the plan would be the same to reach out to hiring managers and see who shows interest. I'd also ask any friends you have at Google if there are teams hiring at your level. It will be easier if you're experienced hire (L4 or higher)
