Google tests job posting service

Google has put Google Hire online, without further publicity to the service. Google Hire allows employers to post jobs and manage incoming applications. Google is testing the service with a few companies.

For now, hire.withgoogle.com only shows a splash page with no details. According to Axios, several tech companies are testing the Hire service to post jobs, receive responses and process applications. Those companies would be CoreOS, Warner Bros. subsidiary DramaFever and the start-ups Medisas and Poynt.

Venture Beat reports that the service will come online a few months after the release of a test version of the Cloud Jobs API. With this api, companies can add vacancies to their own site. The Hire service would come from the division that was created after Google’s acquisition of Bebop in 2015. This company was founded by one of the VMware founders and worked on an app development platform.

With Google Hire, the search giant is competing with LinkedIn and Oracle’s Taleo Talent Acquisition Cloud, among others.
