When Google dove headfirst into employment less than a year ago, many in my circle of know-it-alls wrote it off, saying things would peter out similarly to how Google Base came and went with barely a whimper. Well, checking in with Big G reveals a company that isn’t slowing down.
Check it.
New feature by new feature, Google continues to show that it’s serious about employment and really making a dent in the market. Granted, it’s still early, and most of its current ATS customers have less than 25 job openings. However, at this rate, if it doesn’t succeed, it doesn’t look like it’ll be for a lack of effort, money, and people power.
We’ll see if it ever starts eating its own dog food. As Ongig says in its report, “A telling milestone for the Google ATS is whether/when Google uses Google Hire as the ATS system for its own huge volume of internal hires. That would mean that Google scaled it to be a true enterprise-level ATS that could appeal to large Fortune 500-level employers.”
