Global tech giant Google has launched a new online search
feature in Kenya that match job seekers with their targeted
opportunities.
The new feature allows job seekers using
Google web search engine to tailor their employment hunt according to
their preferred location, industry, company and career level. Job
seekers need to first key in employment or jobs in Kenya to view a list
of jobs available locally.
Google has partnered with a
number of online job sites such as Brighter Monday and Fuzu.
Recruitment sites and employers can partner with Google job search for a
chance to reach out to a wider audience.
“This new
feature helps job seekers find employment opportunities with ease.
There are filters to customize the job search according to a specific
industry, location or the company. A person is also able to save a page
or to bookmark a site and continue the job search at a later time,” said
Google Product Marketing Manager, Christian Lin.
The
new job search tool was unveiled simultaneously in Kenya, Nigeria and
South Africa with plans underway to unveil it in other markets in
Africa. The tech giant first uncovered the job search functionality in
the US in June last year in partnership with Glassdoor, a recruitment
site in the US.
