Google Launches Its AI-Powered Jobs Search Engine (techcrunch.com) 38
Now you can search for jobs across virtually all of the major online job boards like LinkedIn, Monster, WayUp, DirectEmployers, CareerBuilders, Facebook and others -- directly from Google's search result pages. The company will also include job listings it finds on a company's homepage. TechCrunch reports: The idea here is to give job seekers an easy way to see which jobs are available without having to go to multiple sites only to find duplicate postings and lots of irrelevant jobs. With this new feature, which is now available in English on desktop and mobile, all you have to type in is a query like "jobs near me," "writing jobs" or something along those lines and the search result page will show you the new job search widget that lets you see a broad range of jobs. From there, you can further refine your query to only include full-time positions, for example. When you click through to get more information about a specific job, you also get to see Glassdoor and Indeed ratings for a company. You can also filter jobs by industry, location, when they were posted, and employer. Once you find a query that works, you can also turn on notifications so you get an immediate alert when a new job is posted that matches your personalized query.

Just having a negative filter makes it a million times better than any other job search I've used. (I live in a location where my field is dominated by $PREV_EMPLOYER who is currently riding their no re-hire policy hard, so filtering then out is a big timesaver.)

Of course I selected all those, and it came up with no results. I must be doing something wrong.
About freaking time!!! (Score:2)
Been a while I was hoping for this.
Actual job hunting is way better than before, but not efficient enough. In my city, all job are spread into a dozen different website (indeed, monster, jobilico etc.). And you need to create a full profile on everyone of them...
I was hoping for LinkedIn to fill that gap, but the job listing is way smaller than the others website. To be fair, I must admit that I've found my last job with the help of an head hunter I've met by LinkedIn, but still.
Glad to see Google entering this market and create a way to help people finding the best job avalaible for their profile. In a time where job that last a lifetime doesn't exist anymore, we will benefit greatly from this.

Part of the problem I hope they solve is all the personal information one has to give out first.

We must assume Google's AI looked at all of the data Google has collected on you over the years including your web search history and decided you were fit for only one job. Perhaps all of those midget porn searches during working hours narrowed your job choices to government employee and US Senator.

What's interesting is that Google themselves say that this is for Americans (they don't say US, just Americans, so one assumes Canadians too, maybe?), and the articles that picked it up dropped that fact. A fact that's important on an international tech news site, like Slashdot!
Unfortunately they make no mention of when this might roll out to the rest of the world. Or even _if_ it will roll out to the rest of the world.
