To improve the job search experience for users
across India, Google has launched a new search experience that makes it easier
and quicker for job seekers to find relevant employment opportunities. Users
can now directly type in the related job profile into the web and get job
listings from across the popular job listing websites, online classifieds, and
companies.
To have a comprehensive job list, Google has
partnered with Aasaanjobs, Freshersworld, Headhonchos, IBM Talent Management
Solutions, LinkedIn, QuezX, QuikrJobs, Shine.com, T-Jobs, TimesJobs, and
Wisdomjobs.
The search will also allow users to refine the
results using filters, save the job listings they like, share them with their
contacts, and sign up for job alerts.This feature is currently available in
English on the Search app on Android and iOS, and in Google Search on the
desktop and mobile.
To help MSMEs make their job discoverable,
Google has also released open documentation, using open structured schema.org
web markup standards that Google supports
in this new search feature.
"In Q4 last year, we saw more than a 45 percent increase in the number of job search
queries, and this number is continuously growing. However today, the job search
experience is not always effective. On the other hand companies -- especially
SMEs -- that are the largest job creators
are often unable to make their listings discoverable. This new job search
experience powered by our partners and our open platform approach attempts to
bridge this gap," Rajan Anandan, Vice President India & Southeast
Asia, said.
Now, when users search for "jobs near
me," "jobs for freshers," or similar job-seeking queries, they
will see a special module that can be expanded. Clicking on any job in this
listing opens an at-a-glance view of comprehensive information about the
posting such as job title, location, whether it is full-time or part-time, and
several other details. From here, users can directly proceed to the job listing
page on the website and apply there.
