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!".

@wuss they have it easy, no need to worry about SEO or discoverability of the new name :D
Joshua Pinter
@wuss They can also bulldoze anybody else with the existing name or trademark. "Legal team, come forth!"
Davis Nunez
@wuss hahah, we just made a maps app, how should we call it? "maps".

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?

It seems like every big company is launching a hiring solution the last few months ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

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.
Thomas Leitermann
@kleinkleinklein we're on GSUITE currently, going to check with our HR team how they would like it... To me it makes total sense...

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.

It's only a matter of time before each Google homepage doodle appears here.

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.

Could it be the start of a new professional social network?
David Carpe
@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

Still waiting when Amazon and Facebook will launch this service. Interesting months ahead.

@nateritter lol, grabbed the article using GBoard. GOOGLE SEES EVERYTHING.

Will be interesting to see what Facebook does with Jobs to combat this in the future.
Jason Scheckner
@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.

Problem is a lot of businesses still use Microsoft Outlook looks like this requires Gmail
