Google for Jobs Review with Pricing, Posting Guide, Comparisons, and FAQs

Review:

Google for Jobs is a free service that uses AI and machine learning to increase job post visibility by showing job postings in Google search results. The service was introduced into the Canadian market in 2018.

Canadian companies, like the TD Bank Group, are using the new feature, and several local job boards, including BC Jobs and Jobillico have partnered with Google, to increase job post visibility.

Pros:

• The service is free.
• Google's website is available in French.
• Once you've integrated your careers page with Google, your new jobs will show up in results as you add them.
• Resources on how to add structured data to your posts are easily available.
• You can post jobs to third-party sites, such as Monster, Jobillico, and BCjobs.ca, that are already integrated with Google so you don't have to change the code on your site.
• The job posts are linked directly to your website.
• Clicks to your website through your listing in the Google job search feature are automatically tagged, making it easy to measure results in Google Analytics.
• Job seekers can search, save searches, and create job alerts.
• Job search filters include title, location, type, and employer.

Cons:

• Google for Jobs does not have a resume database for employers to access.
• Employers have to research third-party sites to find out if they use Google's structured data.
• There is no option to sponsor listings to make job posts stand out.

Google for Jobs vs. Indeed:

Indeed is a popular and trusted job board that offers built-in screening tools and a resume database of over 245 million resumes. However, you must pay for your job posts to stay prominent on the site. If you can get the Google for Jobs structured data set up correctly, your job posts will appear in Google search results for free.

Google for Jobs vs. Eluta.ca:

Eluta.ca is a Canadian job posting site that aggregates jobs from sites across that country using a special algorithm and allows for free and paid job postings. Google for Jobs, on the other hand, does not offer sponsored postings but is available in French, which Eluta.ca isn't. Neither features a resume database.

Google for Jobs vs. Job Bank:

Both Google for Jobs and Job Bank are free to use. Since job searches frequently start with a Google search, having your job posts appear on Google can be beneficial, with the potential of reaching more job seekers than Job Bank. Unlike Google for Jobs, Job Bank offers a range of country-specific resources. Nothing speaks against using both.
