Google for Jobs was a platform launched by Google in the month of May 2017 and it helped those in search of a job by connecting them to suitable employers. It is one of the most powerful job search tools involving many other online platforms such as Facebook, LinkedIn and DirectEmployers. However, their latest app, Hire, is even more powerful in that helps to connect the seekers and the hirers at the correct place at the most appropriate time. The app is designed to offer a seamless experience to both the parties from the start to the finish.

How is Hire helpful to entrepreneurs?
Hire helps entrepreneurs to work more collaboratively in that it helps to hire the best talent. Many organizations all around the world use a number of Google products to aid in different hiring activities. These products are used to send mails to the candidates about jobs in the offing and interviews. Hire was created to simplify and streamline the entire recruitment activity. With Hire, Google wants to do away with switching between general purpose tools to get the recruitment jobs done.
What are the different stages in which Hire is used by the company?
Hire helps companies to perform many different tasks through one single platform. From posting jobs to information boards and public labs, the application also aids in the collection of applications from the candidates.
Hire helps to send communications to candidates and also store these for future reference. Collection of feedback after interviews and scheduling interviews for new applicants is also possible with Hire. Hire also allows you to go through old applications of good talent that you may have interviewed for recruitment in the past.
The best thing about Hire is that it connects both the recruiters and the candidates. This program synchronizes with Google Calendar and Gmail seamlessly.
