With the digitization of the recruitment process, every emerging and established firm uses online mediums for publishing job openings. Now, just imagine thousands of companies under the same domain publishing the same job openings on different websites. As a consequence, when a job seeker searches for that particular job online, millions of search results pop up—a huge mess for the poor job seeker! Well, just as it does for every other problem we face, Google has come up with an extremely awesome solution for this as well, with its very own search engine, Google for Jobs. Google for Jobs is an advanced job search tool developed to make job hunting a simpler and more enjoyable experience for candidates and a short yet efficient recruiting process for employers. The artificial intelligence algorithms extract information from both employers' and applicants' career pages, organize it, match it, eradicate any duplicates, and present it on a search page as soon as the job advertisements are posted.
Streamlining job descriptions
Finding the accurate job online is like finding a needle in a haystack. Quite often, different organizations have different names for the same job title. A job seeker can come across 'customer support' as well as 'customer service' and not interpret them as the same thing, which creates a lot of chaos from both ends of recruitment. Job descriptions of different jobs but containing the same set of words are also a big reason for the mess of online job hunting. Often companies tend to include things they don't mean. For instance, the job of an assistant supporting some senior person and the job of a senior role both include the word 'senior' in it. All these limitations together are too much to handle and process for any search engine, even for Google, which has some of the most complicated algorithms. To solve this, Google decided to collect, organize, analyze, and classify all jobs that are posted online. Job titles are broken into clusters, and job descriptions are further broken down into traits and skills. From the huge database of cloud job discovery, Google can now retrieve and define the most relevant jobs according to the search term of the job seeker. Correspondingly, Google has reduced the pain of recruiters too by providing them with candidates with the best skill sets.
Accurate selection of commute
Under the pressure of interviews and getting the job, many candidates usually underestimate the damage caused by long-distance travel from home to work. The time wasted on commuting, if more than 90 minutes, makes a person vulnerable to stress and various health issues. Google has developed an effective solution to prevent candidates from going through long commutes by adding a location filter to their search results. This borrowed feature from Google Maps lets candidates choose a workplace at a distance that is convenient for them and shows the shortest path possible.
Advertising jobs gets easier like never before
With the launch of Google for Jobs, a candidate now has to simply Google search for the job they seek. Does that mean the future of the business of various job board websites is in the dark? Well, the simple answer is NO. At the moment, instead of taking over and wiping them out, Google is working with various job boards like Recooty, which gets integrated with Google for Jobs. So every job opening you publish will be visible on your website and on the Google job board too. Through this cooperation, mutual benefit is achieved. Google is training its machine learning technology to detect relevant jobs on a large scale, as well as providing job boards with a greater platform for publishing job openings for their clients.
Quality, not quantity
Google for Jobs has made the hiring process for recruiters much easier—it gives them fewer candidates with a higher quality of skills. With the eradication of duplicate and mismatched job search results by Google for Jobs, job seekers get fewer yet completely relevant search results. Also, the fact that job openings and job applications are carefully inspected by Google prevents candidates from applying to every job application they come across. As a result, companies get a decreased number yet higher quality of job applications. The precious time wasted in rejecting non-eligible candidates can be invested in improving the candidate experience for worthy candidates.
