70% of job searches begin with Google. Now that the search giant has put their job search algorithm into the hands of candidates, will they end there, too?

Following last summer’s release of the employer-focused Google for jobs (GJ), as part of the Cloud Jobs API, Google has now made GJ, complete with AI matching technology to surface job postings on every board they’re advertised, available to American job seekers.

With GJ, candidates can enter a search query like “jobs near me”, or “retail jobs”, and filter the results by location, specialty, company rating, or working hours – with more filters to come for ultra-personalized results. Think Google Flights, but for jobs.

It’s a big deal for both job boards and employers, for very different reasons. Job boards will have to rethink their value proposition to businesses and candidates, and while employers don’t really care whether job boards live or die, but missing out on GJ would mean missing out on candidates…

For candidates, GJ’s appeal is obvious: job boards are usually little different than their newspaper classified predecessors, as in broad, hard to search, and riddled with expired ads. Now, Google’s powerful creepy crawlies aggregate job data from around the internet to make sure posts are both relevant and up to date.

GJ does this by evolving matching technology. The idea being that enormous banks of data surface smarter matches through algorithms powered by AI and machine learning, thus eliminating the hassle of inconsistent job titling from company to company that has plagued candidates in the past.

“If I were Indeed, I would be scared; if I were an ATS that focuses on small- to medium-sized businesses, I would be scared,” says Jonathan Kestenbaum, recruiting tech expert and managing director for Talent Tech Labs. “If I were a Talent Acquisition enthusiast, I would be excited that such a large organization is taking interest in helping innovate within the space.”

Indeed has chosen not to make their jobs crawlable by Google. Rather, they are relying on the strength of their own brand, and the fact that, unlike most job boards, they are already using AI in their matching algorithms. Plus, for now, GJ with the added AI is only up and running in one country, the US, and in one language, English.

Google may have the advantage of controlling the search engine where 70 percent of job hunts begin, But there’s still the matter of trust to consider. Facebook ran into trouble recently with their job advertising algorithm, when it was found to favor men. (Read why here) The candidate needs to know the AI underlying the search results is not so much a Harry Potter sorting hat, but more a summoning charm.

An accounting recruiter with over a decade of experience, Adam Karpiak says it may be a while before GJ really changes anything. “To the average candidate, job postings are job postings are job postings. These platforms actually make the recruiters look better because we specialize in people, NOT job postings. I’m sure GJ will be [a leg up], for the one percent of companies that understand what’s going on. It’ll take so long to trickle down to most companies, the ones that jump on it will definitely have an advantage.”

Google staunchly insists their new tech isn’t a replacement for job boards. The data giant is, in fact, partnering with LinkedIn, Monster, WayUp, DirectEmployers, CareerBuilder, Glassdoor and Facebook, to surface the best opportunities tailored to candidate specifications, hoping their foray into recruiting will push the industry forward in terms of tech innovation.

With more opportunities coming their way, job seekers are going to expect a quick and seamless process. So, recruiters, how can you make sure Google sees, and likes you? First off, make sure your job ad is compatible with Google search – you can check that by clicking here! – and be sure to follow this easy checklist, making sure your ad is:

  1. Mobile friendly: Make sure your career site and job posting are easy to navigate on mobile devices, so you don’t miss the casual scrollers!
  2. Informative: Adding details like office location, work hours, and flexible work options will make it easy for candidates to surface your job posting.
  3. Well Branded: Reviews and content about your company will be more visible than ever, so it’s a great time to make sure everything is up to date. You may even consider branching into new media, like making that career video you’ve been dreaming of.
  4. One-click–Apply Ready: Lowers candidate drop out rates, and strengthens your brand in the digital age.
  5. Efficient: The influx of candidates means that process becomes extremely important. Make sure your ATS is supporting quick and organized communication for your team, so candidates have a great experience.

Recruiting practices need to pace the demands of the healthcare industry, which is why these job boards are great resources for hiring top-quality talent today.

The future of healthcare will focus on making care “smarter”—from accurately diagnosing and treating illnesses to more accessible patient data. Healthcare recruiting is changing rapidly, which means that hiring qualified medical professionals who can adapt is a top priority for hospitals, private practices, and specialty groups. The Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) projects that by the year 2030 the US will see a shortage of between 40,800 and 104,900 doctors and between 33,500 and 61,800 non-primary care specialists. But finding highly skilled professionals for low turnover roles doesn’t have to be daunting—check out these 10 job boards and career resources for healthcare professionals.

1. Health eCareers

More than just a job board, Health eCareers also offers career resources, news coverage, and information for all types of medical professions. For job seekers, the Salary Calculator and Salary Guide are helpful in determining how their pay stacks up against others in their field, measuring factors such as specialty, location and experience.

2. JAMA Career Center

An affiliate of JAMA (the Journal of the American Medical Association), the Career Center is a comprehensive resource designed for active and passive job seekers. Search queries on the job board can be tailored according to specialty skills and locations throughout the US and beyond, with international volunteer opportunities open to traveling physicians. In addition to its job board, the Career Center site offers news and advice for medical professionals mapping our their career trajectory and navigating career transitions.

3. MedicalJobs.org

MedicalJobs.org is an information-first resource for healthcare professionals that publishes weekly advice articles about different medical careers. Some of their more popular articles include: “Four great medical jobs for shy people”, “Medical Jobs You May Not Have Considered”, and “An EMT can do more than EMT!” The site’s medical career comparison tool identifies which medical job is a good fit for individuals using filters like salary requirements, education, and physical, mental, and emotional exertion levels.

4. MedJobsCafe.com

Started in 2007 as a companion website to DocCafe.com, MedJobsCafe.com is one of several branded job sites that include dedicated platforms for dentists, nurses, pharmaceutical professionals, and biotech workers. Their medical jobs listings number in the thousands and provide job seekers with granular data about potential employers such as community values and staff size, as well as additional information such as the quality of schools and weather averages in the area of the job posting. The network includes several features that are common among ATS platforms, like customized candidate profiles, job alerts, and a CV database of active and passive healthcare professionals.

5. MomMD

Dedicated to connecting women in medicine, MomMD is the largest site of its kind, with over 11,000 active members in their +1m community of female medical professionals.

The MomMD job board aggregates opportunities from recruitment and staffing firms, hospitals, private practices, and academic employers across the US.

6. Medzilla

Medzila may be one of the oldest entries on this list, having started in 1994 connecting biotech, pharmaceutical, medical and healthcare professionals to employers, but that doesn’t mean the site is a dinosaur. The job search function is free for job seekers, while employers who pay an annual fee can access My MedZilla, the site’s internal applicant tracking and resume management systems, which automatically scrape job postings from the company page and archive inactive resumes to promote top quality candidates without any additional work.

To foster relationships between medical professionals, the site also has Medical Mingle, a social platform with forums, support groups, and articles written by community members.

8. HospitalCareers

As the name suggests, this site partners with over 20 state Hospital Associations to quickly and efficiently place healthcare professionals in hospitals all across the US. Employers pay a flat annual fee and the site automatically scrapes all open positions from a company ATS, with no limit to the number of positions an employer can post.

From 50 initial competitors, five of the most innovative recruiting startups in the world were chosen to pitch it out on the main stage of Hiring Success. Watch now!

The first annual Recruiting Startup of the Year competition from Smartrecruiters saw fledgling recruiting companies from Germany to Washington State battle it out on social media to see who could leverage their networks for the most votes, to be one of five finalists to make their pitch to the 1,000+ TA leaders and executives at Hiring Success 18.

The campaigning was fierce, but from 50 initial contestants, JobPal, Recruitsy, Talent Savant, and Recruiterly distinguished themselves as especially promising in their field and flew to San Francisco to make their case for first place at the third annual #hire18.

Before they took the stage, the startups had to meet their “Shark Tank”, aka the six judges who would determine the winner: Matt Gallo, partner at Insight Ventures; Ted Wilson, partner at Silicon Valley Bank; Tejas Maniar, Partner at Mayfield; Jeff Diana, Investor and high-growth consultant; and Rebecca Carr, Smartrecruiters’ VP of product .

The Prize was $10,000 in media spend from HR.com, an article by Talent Tech Labs’ executive Director Jonathan Kestenbaum, and a gold level sponsorship to next year’s Hiring Success Conference.

First up, JobPal. A builder of recruiting chatbots with a custom language processor built especially for recruiting. They leverage messaging applications like Whatsapp and Facebook Messenger to make the candidate experience smoother and save recruiters time.

Judge Jeff Diana said he was impressed by the 15 percent conversion rate these bots get on average, but cautioned against losing focus. “They scared me a little when they talked about moving into the broader employee experience. My advice is to go crush the recruiting market first.”

Up next we had Recruitsy. It’s Yelp meets recruiting: a public rating system of recruiters and recruitment agencies. Candidates can see reviews for individual recruiters as well as agencies, and agencies can use the platform to build their brand, target problem areas, and reach out to candidates.

Of Recruitsy, Judge Matt Gallo was convinced of the need, his only question was how they would gain critical mass?  “In these reviewer marketplaces, it tends to be a winner take all or winner take most. How will you grow quickly enough to put out competitors?”

Following these recruiter focused tools we take a look at Honeypot.io, the job board for developers and other computer engineers that turns the application process upside down by making the employers apply to candidates who are vetted by the site. Established in October 2016, this platform already has over 50,000 candidates (all of which are only on the site if they are actively seeking work) with 1,000 more signup weekly.

Honeypot.io presented an interesting conundrum to Judge Ted Wilson. “I think the approach of candidate first is unique and clearly developers are willing to sign up,” said Wilson, “but usually we talk about passive candidates as the best candidates. How do we change the narrative and convince employers that the candidates who are raising their hands for jobs are really the ones to look at?”

Recruiterly is a brand-building and social network tool for recruiters and recruiting agencies, so employers come to them. The goal is to change the perception of the recruiting industry and allow recruiters to showcase their skills.

Judge Tejas Maniar was on board for the product but he wanted to see more passion. “Recruiterly established the need superbly but I want to see a double-click on the enthusiasm and excitement.”

To wrap up we had a presentation from Talent Savant, a mission-based recruiting agency that answers staffing needs without the hard sell, outrageous prices, or irrelevant resumes. The goal is simple, get people jobs and get employers the workers they need – it’s called ‘pro-human hiring!’

Talent Savant was the only no-tech startup pitching for Recruiting Startup of the Year, but judge Rebecca Carr felt they held their own. “I think it’s great how this startup puts forth its personality,” she said. “Their brand of mission-driven recruiting gives them a unique flair and cuts through the noise.”

(Talent Savant presenting with the Recruiting Fairy)

After the presentations, the judges deliberated live on stage. The startups were appraised on the criterion of vision, do they have a mission that people can get behind? –  influence, is their idea innovative enough to break through? – and presentation, can they make people believe in their company in just five minutes?

In the end, Honeypot was awarded first place! The judges were impressed by how this job board has been able to turn candidates into active players in the employment search and want to see how the platform grows.

“In the world of startups,” says CEO and founder of SmartRecruiters, Jerome Ternynck in his closing remarks “there are no winners or losers, only hustlers working to change their world, creating and grabbing opportunities, embracing effort, and learning from every failure as well as every success – that’s really what it’s all about.

Some of the product category pages, like Job Boards for example, also have additional ‘sort by’ and ‘search’ fields to find the partner services that best match your needs.
