Where am I in the Google L3 hiring process? Post-HC or still before HC?

Hi everyone, I’m hoping someone familiar with the Google hiring pipeline can help me understand where I currently stand. Location: India Exp: 2 YOE **Timeline:** * **Last March 2025:** Completed onsite interviews for an L3 role at Google * **Mid April 2025:** Recruiter told me feedback was *“overall positive”* and that I’d move to **team matching**. There were delays because my recruiter changed twice. * **Feb 23 2026:** Right after my **second team-fit call**, the recruiter asked me for additional details such as: * transcripts * updated resume * expected salary * internal references * career trajectory / background info However, there was **no explicit mention of whether my packet is going to Hiring Committee (HC) or if it already has**. So I’m trying to understand: 1. Does this usually mean I’m **pre-HC** and they’re preparing the packet? Or could I already be **post-HC and in team matching / approval stages**? 2. Once a candidate goes to **HC**, how long does it usually take to hear back? 3. I **pinged my recruiter asking about my status**, but I haven’t received a reply yet. At what point does it make sense to **email the candidate support email instead** if the recruiter isn’t responding? Or is that generally discouraged? Would really appreciate insights from anyone who’s been through the process recently. Thanks!
