Google has announced a new job search experience that aims to help job seekers find a job. For the first time, when someone uses their phone or computer to search for a job on Google, they'll see a streamlined experience that allows them to explore, search, and find relevant local job postings. The launch builds on Google's existing commitment in sub-Saharan Africa to improve economic opportunities for job seekers and employers, as demonstrated by its Grow with Google initiatives. The Digital Skills for Africa program, Google's commitment to train 1 million young Africans between April 2016 and March 2017, has been met and exceeded. In July 2017, this program was expanded to 10 million trained youth by 2022 and 100,000 trained developers in the region.
Juliet Ehimuan Chiazor, director of Google , said during its launch in Nigeria: "Finding a job is still very difficult for many people. This new job search experience will help millions of Nigerians in search of new opportunities. We believe that the Web allows anyone, anywhere, of any age, to grow their business, to acquire the skills they need to find a job, to progress in their career, to become an entrepreneur or developer. This new job search tool will be a key driver for connecting job seekers to open up opportunities, helping more people to grow with Google. " Starting today, jobseekers in South Africa, Kenya and Nigeria will be able to use the new job-search experience to help them find suitable opportunities quickly and easily, thanks to a new job search experience. immersive experience that allows them to explore jobs their research to meet their specific needs.
Users will be able to see at a glance the details of the posting, such as title, location, whether it is a full-time, part-time job or an internship, as well as only detailed information if a job is of interest. With the integration of Google Maps, job seekers can search for jobs anywhere on the map, and if they are connected, they can even see how long it would take them to get to work from home. Searching for a new job can take a long time, so if you move away from your job search, Google allows you to easily pick up your position and stay informed of the opportunities that are right for you. Simply press the "Get Alerts" button to receive email notifications when new jobs matching your search appear. As this is an open ecosystem, Google invites all job boards, platforms and employers - large and small - to integrate with us and make their jobs eligible to be displayed in the new search experience. job. Thanks to Google's new open documentation, all job providers are able to integrate their content with Google's open schema.org Web markup standards.
To optimise the feature and make it more useful, Google is working with a broad and growing cross- section of partners, such as the Federal Government, Jobberman, NGCareers, MyJobMag and other job resource websites in Nigeria. These collaborations ensure Google is able to present job postings content accurately, as soon as it is posted, to exactly the people that will find it most relevant.
“The launch of this new jobs Search experience is part of our broader commitment to improve economic opportunities for job seekers and employers through Google technologies in partnership with the broader employment industry. Google is committed to providing useful, accurate and relevant information based on your search queries and helping you connect to your next job. In this way we hope to make a
contribution towards matching job seekers with jobs and taking steps to tackle the skills gap,” Ehimuan Chiazor comments.
Speaking at the launch event, Senior Special Assistant to the President on Job Creation & Youth Employment, Afolabi Imoukhuede commented that: “The Federal Government of Nigeria under the leadership of President Muhammadu Buhari has prioritised Job Creation for the teeming unemployed and underemployed youths as contained in the Job Creation Strategy section of the Economic Recovery and
Growth Plan (ERGP). It is therefore our pleasure to endorse and partner Google on this job Search experience launch that seeks to connect job seekers to jobs.”
In addition to its Digital Skills initiative and the new jobs Search experience, Google also supports tech startups at various stages of their lifecycle through the Launchpad program. Announced last year, Launchpad Accelerator Africa will provide over $3 million in equity-free funding, mentorship, working space and access to expert advisers to over 60 African startups over 3 years. Intensive 3-month
programs, held twice per year, will run out of a new Google Launchpad Space in Lagos – the program’s first location outside of the United States.
