How to make your job ads appear in Google job search

The Google Job Search

It's amazing how unknown Google's powerful job search is to many recruiters. Features like Google Maps or Google's image search are familiar to everyone and it's hard to imagine recruiters without them.

Google's job search is a search function specialized for job offers. It is automatically displayed when Google recognizes that the current search query is a job search. Try it out for yourself:

• Open a new window

• Go to www.google.com

• Search for "jobs nearby

• Google will automatically show you a blue box with job listings (you may have to scroll down a bit)

Google Job Search is integrated with Google's normal search function. The results are usually displayed before any organic search results. Thus, Google for Jobs is very prominent and cannot be overlooked.

Clicking on the blue headline opens a new view that unleashes the full potential of Google's job search.
