Google Hire

[edit]

Google Hire is an applicant tracking system developed by Google that helps small to medium businesses (SMBs) to distribute jobs, identify and attract candidates, build strong relationships with candidates, and efficiently manage the interview process – using familiar Google solutions such as Google Search, Gmail, Google Calendar, Google Docs, Google Sheets and Google Hangouts. Launched on July 18, 2017[1], Google Hire is currently available to companies in the United States who use G Suite.

Reception

[edit]

Since the launch, Hire has received positive reviews from HR professionals: “on Day One, Google Hire is already light years ahead of most of its competition in terms of helping drive hiring efficiency and productivity within the SMB market[2]”; “It’s way better than the typical small business ATS[3]”. Somewhat hyperbolically, it has also been called “a watershed moment in the annals of HR Technology history[4]”, “one of the most exciting products to come around the HR Technology space in a very long time[5]”, and “looks and feels a whole lot like the ATS of the future[6]”.

Analysts and customers alike give Google Hire credit for the native integrations with the tools where people spend their day: Google Gmail and Google Calendar. “Its pitch is simple: for recruiters who already spend much of their day in Gmail and Google Calendar, they can schedule interviews in Hire much faster and with a lot fewer clicks.[7]” The result of these G Suite integrations is that Hire customer can recruit faster.

Customers also praise Hire for its ease of use, affordability and efficiency: “It’s easy to use, easily accessible[8]”, “user-friendly, affordable, and efficient[9]”.

Features

[edit]

Google Hire allow customers to create unique hiring stages for each department or even each job opening[10] because the hiring process for an engineer and a sales are different. Companies can post their job openings to the major job boards like Indeed, Glassdoor, and Google for Jobs, track the efficacy of each source[11]. Once a candidate profile is created in Google Hire, recruiters and hiring managers can get more insight about the candidate with automatic Google search that discovers the candidate’s profiles on many web sites such as LinkedIn, GitHub, and so on[12]. The candidate pipeline for each job opening can be easily viewed, filtered and sorted by the candidate source, stage, current company and other attributes[13]. Recruiters and hiring managers can quickly review new candidate resumes, and advance or reject individual candidates with one click[14], or bulk advance or reject multiple candidates[15]. Google Hire makes it easy to organize and tack candidates candidates in collections that can be shared with anyone in the organization. The app allows recruiters to search the database of past candidates in order to discover profiles that may be a good fit for new job openings[16]. Any member of a hiring team can collaborate with colleagues on a candidate profile through an easy @mention feature[17]. Interview scheduling is integrated with Google Calendar[18], and once an interview is over, the interviewers can enter interview feedback without even having to log into the system[19]. An interviewer cannot see feedback from fellow interviewers they enter their own - in order to prevent bias and provide an additional incentive to leave feedback[20]. Google Hire has a Gmail add-on that brings key recruiting functionality right into the user’s email inbox[21]. And any email communication with a candidate is also tracked on the candidate profile in Google Hire[22]. The email communications are streamlined and made consistent with email templates[23]. Each recruiter, hiring manager and interviewer can stay on top of important and urgent tasks with a comprehensive dashboard that highlights upcoming interviews, pending feedback requests, comments on candidates, or emails from candidates[24].
