Can you describe your hiring philosophy and the values that guide your decision-making when evaluating candidates for a role? Would this remain the same at Google?

Equitable opportunities for every body, hire with out bias will be the
philosophy.

When I hire, I look for good diverse representation in my team
Technical fitment would ofcourse take the top priority 
I ensure there are no bias ( like candidate similar to me, candidate from
certain region , ethnicity or background etc) involved during hiring.
Organization specific cultural fitment might be the 3rd aspect
To ensure that these tenets hold good while hiring, I involve trained interview
panel so a collective feedback ensures the philosophy is held intact.
 A bar raiser in the panel ensures a top talent is selected.
I would apply this philosophy in any organisation including Google, perhaps only
difference would be to apply Google specific cultural lense while selecting the
candidate

While I hiring, based on the role, I follow a frame work, we assess the
candidate against leadership principle and organisation values. I assess the
candidate on problem solving & edge cases during technical interviews, whether
candidate has strategic solution along with tactical. Has the candidate is
looking into big picture, scaling out systems, nurturing junior members on the
team, Innovation and most importantly team and cross function collaborations. I
assess the candidate on his communication, how well the candidate able to
articulate the thought process and is able to communicate all stake holders.

For google,  probably I'd refine the framework based on organization principle
and demand. Also see how fungible the candidate is.
