Abstract
Job boards have long since ceased to be the only online channel through which potential applicants can find potential employers when looking for a job.

Since June 2017 job seekers in the USA and gradually job seekers in other countries, have been enjoying a job search and recruiters have been enjoying a reach for employers and a “job placement accelerator” that has never been seen before in this form.

Chapter 2. An Approach to Google for Jobs
Abstract
As fast as possible, as relevant as possible, the whole thing in the most suitable format: is Google’s standard for the perfect search result.

The whole thing has a massive impact on the way jobs are sought, and consequently on recruiting. Google for Jobs, which (so far) is hardly used, offers companies a previously unprecedented range of applicants.

The whole thing is rounded off by a multitude of filter options.
