With the launch of Google’s latest efforts to socialize the web–Google Plus–there have been a lot of changes across the board. A few weeks ago core apps like Google Calendar and Google Docs got a face lift, as did the Google Search page and a number of product pages as well.
No doubt in the coming weeks we will have to recalibrate a few things. In the meamntime, the iGoogle set-up files for anyone who wants a recruiter-specific template have been updated too.
A number of new custom search engines have been added under the Sourcing tab and some new finds have been added to the Lookups tab.

One of the advantages of G-Recruiting, and cloud recruiting in general, is the ability to share and collaborate. Because data is stored in the cloud anyone who has a link, permission and internet access can find, share, edit, publish and file anything — everything from a job description to a full-blown site, landing page and apply online to boot.
