Google can now help you find a job

Google leverages its advanced machine learning capabilities and introduces a new project that would help out job seekers. Called Google for Jobs, it seems to be a specific part of its search engine that shows job listings you might be interested in. Google itself isn’t hosting the listings. They’re using third-party sites and companies like Facebook, Glassdoor, LinkedIn, Monster, and ZipRecruiter. You can customize the search for criteria like length of the commute. The feature even bundles together openings for jobs that might be similar but have different titles. When you select a job you want, Google will then redirect you to another service. 

Some of the big companies piloting the program include FedEx and Johnson & Johnson. According to Google CEO Sundar Pichai, these companies saw an 18 percent increase in applications over previous methods used. The project is first rolling out in the US in the coming weeks.
