Hire, not to be confused with Hired.
Google is going strong into the recruiting/jobs space. They recently introduced a jobs "card" within their search results. E.g.
We are so excited about this - it would transform the entire recruiting experience in-house. Any ideas as to when this would go live on this side of the pond?
Why do so many companies, now including Google have a non-world wide policy? | "Hire is currently available only to organizations based in the United States"
It must be amazing to work at Google and come up with names for your products. We all sit here, putting in hours of research, thesaurusing, mood boarding, and domain availability searching for a name that's passably sensical.
At Google, people be like "We're making a tool to hire people, what should we call it?". "How about Hire". "GENIUS!".
The pricing page doesn't have pricing. Not a good sign! I expected this would be an add on for gsuite. It would be interesting if they bill it as a premium offering instead of another reason to use gsuite.
This isn't launched or available. I don't get why it is here on PH. I applied for a demo with a 10 person company on Gsuite and they emailed me back telling me we don't qualify to use it.
I tried to get a demo, but it said that based on my information provided, they are not able to offer it to our organization. Seems like we had all the right answers, small, Google focused email and calendar, etc.
Any ideas on the criteria for a demo?
Google today announced the launch of Hire, a new service that helps businesses more effectively manage their internal recruiting process. Hire offers businesses a cohesive applicant tracking service that’s deeply integrated with G Suite to make it easier for businesses to communicate with their candidates and track their progress through the interview process.Coverage on TechCrunch
With powerful offerings like Gmail, Calendar or Hangouts, Google is finding new (sometimes originally questionable) ways to direct people to those services. Hiring makes complete sense as it leverages a lot of existent G Suite products.
Thank you @arlogilbert, surprised @chrismessina and @rrhoover didn't call out as well. If goal of product hunt is to discover new products not sure how Amazon and Google making up up 3 of top 5 makes sense.
@brentskeez I hear you although products are ranked based on the community's upvotes and ultimately, big companies like Amazon and Google make up a very small % of the products launch on Product Hunt.
@rrhoover Good to hear yesterday large companies aren't given disproportionate weight. I'm probably a little biased and frustrated as they knocked HappyMeter out of the top 5 yesterday 😉.
@brockazure I think facebook is more interested in capturing jobs as natural part of the user experience. Google is going straight after Indeed and companies like Greenhouse, Lever, etc. Google has Gsuite, so the ATS is a natural Add on. It would be a bigger reach for Facebook to add ATS. I think they will compete for jobs, especially in the hourly/gig space.
I think this is a no-brainer for SME/SMBs. It will be interesting to see if any major Enterprise Companies take a risk on this. I assume Google themselves will be using or have used as part of the development process. One thing that all tools have struggled with in the hiring category, which is very different from so many others, is compliance.
We were not going to open our 'Jobs as a Service' API up until Q4 but are now launching it due to small companies and job boards not being given access to their tech. Individuals need the niche offerings, as well as our Fortune 500 companies so they definitely are making things move in the job market. It's helped ThisWay in many ways.
@afehri_ certainly feels like it's a step away from profile integration for any candidate or market participant who might wish to interact with multiple companies but maintain one profile
This makes me wonder about what the the overarching goal is at Google, if not for Cloud dominance.
First, they make job boards surface better results and now they want to manage that pipeline. Whatever the reason, Google is aware just as we are at Imagine Careers, there is something wrong with the fundamentals of the hiring experience.
Looking forward to see how this plays out.
