Google Plus: Updated iGoogle Tabs and Themes

Amitai Givertz — Tue, 19 Jul 2011 03:26:13 +0000

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. The Video tab has been expanded to include a lot more tutorials from favorites like Ryan Leary [BooleanBar.com], Chris Hoyt [RecruiterGuy], Jim Stroud, Bill Radin and others.

Google Cloud Connect for Microsoft Office: Good for virtual and remote recruiters

Amitai Givertz — Thu, 28 Apr 2011 20:25:57 +0000

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. Because changes are made in realtime the pain of emailing stuff back and forth can be avoided. No more worrying about who has which version, or where you filed that precious document. It is also an efficient way to manage large volumes of data, like resumes.

One of the disadvantages, at least for people habituated to Microsoft, is having to figure out how to do stuff that is second nature in a new system like Google. Not that it is that hard, Google has addressed that and more with Google Cloud for Microsoft Office.
