New Feature from Google for Jobs: Job Highlights
A new feature has been launched in the U.S. to make Google for Jobs even more user-friendly for job seekers.
The feature is currently only available in the English-speaking market, but experience suggests it will soon be available in Germany as well. So now is a good time to introduce this new feature.
Specifically, it involves highlighting particularly important aspects of the job posting. To ensure that job seekers immediately see the most relevant information from the job listing, “Job Highlights” are now displayed below the job title. In most cases, Google identifies the necessary qualifications and responsibilities, which are then listed in bullet points. Google uses an algorithm to determine which highlights are displayed.
This feature makes the job search more structured and allows applicants to get a better overview of the job posting. It also increases the likelihood that applicants will review more listings, since they don’t have to read the entire ad first.
However, due to the automatic extraction process, it’s difficult to control exactly what appears in the job posting. This can also be an advantage, though, since Google extracts the information from the job posting that is most relevant to potential applicants. You can take advantage of this by regularly reviewing your job postings to improve them in the future.
If the highlights spark interest, the full job description can be expanded and read below them.
