Google’s Search Will Help You Find Job a La Naukri or Monster Now

The search engine giant wants to utilise its capability to help people find jobs.

Finding job will soon be a Google Search away.

Google is trying to turn its search engine into an employment engine. From Tuesday onwards, job hunters will be able to go to Google and see help-wanted listings that its search engine collects across the internet. This could put Google right up against domestic job-hiring platforms like Nakri, Monster and TimesJobs.com

The results will aim to streamline such listings by eliminating duplicate jobs posted on different sites.

Google will also show employer ratings from current and former workers, as well as typical commute time to job locations.

This detailed jobs information is a departure from the way Google's main search engine has traditionally shown only bare-bones links to various help-wanted sites.

Sundar Pichai had highlighted the advancement of Google’s search engine at the Google I/O 2017 this year, and this announcement merely seems like an official bow to that.

In order to get started, Google is teaming up with a variety of help-wanted and employer-rating services, including LinkedIn, Monster, WayUp, DirectEmployers, CareerBuilder, Glassdoor, and even Facebook.

It’ll be interesting to see if Google’s large database could give them the upper-hand over traditional job listing platforms that have existed till now.
