When I was being recruited by Google I was frustrated by having great phone calls with recruiters, doing well in my phone interview and never hearing a followup.

Turned out all the emails from @google.com were going into my Gmail spam. I think they still do (no matter how many I've marked as not spam).

Oops.

I've been waiting for an email from a company that I'm in the recruitment process with and your comment inspired me to check my spam folder. If it wasn't for that, I wouldn't have seen an email from a government agency looking to recruit me. So thanks!

You'd think .gov, of all TLDs, would have a lower spam score.

The domain is likely to be legit, but there are no special guarantees about the security of the mailserver.

It was actually .gc.ca, since I'm in Canada, but still.
