Google DeepMind Adds 1 AI-Proof Form as Hiring System Mis-Screens Applicants

Summary
An internal memo said DeepMind applicants should submit a special extra form so “a real human” sees their application, alongside the standard process.
The document warned the existing application system has a “non-trivial probability” of screening out CVs incorrectly or delaying them too long to reach the team.
Google said the form was created to route resumes directly to the team rather than through recruiter review, while insisting there are “no shortcuts” to getting hired.
The workaround is notable because it came from DeepMind’s AGI Safety and Alignment Team, exposing hiring frictions inside Google’s flagship AI lab.
