And starting today, we’re introducing new smart chips in Docs for recommended files and meetings. New interactive building blocks-smart chips, templates, and checklists-will connect people, content, and events into one seamless experience.Īlready available, when you mention a person in a document, a smart chip shows you additional information like the person’s location, job title, and contact information. How do teams stay focused and connected as they work together, regardless of where people are located? With smart canvas, we’re building deeper connections across Google Workspace to transform collaboration anywhere it happens.įor example, we’re taking something that people already use every open up new, powerful collaboration capabilities. The evolving hybrid work model gives new urgency to existing collaboration challenges. Making collaboration more flexible and helpful For over a decade now, we’ve been pushing documents away from being just digital pieces of paper and toward collaborative, linked content inspired by the web. They enabled anytime, anywhere teamwork-a stark contrast to the legacy tools that were designed for an era of individual work on office desktops. When we launched Google Docs and Sheets 15 years ago, these apps introduced the world to a new way of working. With smart canvas, we’re bringing the content and connections that transform collaboration into a richer, better experience in Google Workspace. Specifically, we're enhancing the apps that hundreds of millions of people use every day-like Docs, Sheets, and Slides-to make them even more flexible, interactive, and intelligent. Between now and the end of the year, we’re rolling out innovations that make it easier for people to stay connected, focus their time and attention, and transform their ideas into impact. As part of our mission to build the future of work, we’re addressing these challenges in Google Workspace.Īs we announced today at I/O, we’re launching smart canvas-a new product experience that delivers the next evolution of collaboration for Google Workspace. Throughout the pandemic, millions of employees bridged the physical distances with their colleagues by making themselves more available, joining a deluge of virtual meetings, and leaning into a dizzying array of tools and applications. Meanwhile, with the latter criteria, the feature understands intent so it can find near matches by knowing what skills and experiences are associated with a title, as well as nearby locations, so that exact keyword matches are not required.After more than a year of remote collaboration, many people are showing signs of digital fatigue. This ranking works by allowing recruiters to search and filter based on previous interactions like post interview impressions and whether a job offer was previously made.Ĭandidates with positive feedback will rank higher in search results than those without, and candidates who received an offer in the past but declined it will rank higher than those who were previously rejected.

Candidate discovery will generate a prioritized list of applicants based on profile matches to location, job description, and title. Often, many of the 249 that don’t get hired are a great fit for future openings-but companies haven’t always had an easy way to identify past candidates that might be a good match for new jobs.Ĭurrently in beta, the functionality helps recruiters find candidates that may be suitable for a current opening. On average, companies engage with 250 candidates before finding the single candidate they want to hire.

Candidate discovery taps into the company’s search prowess to better surface suitable candidates.

The Hire recruiting tool integrates with G Suite like messaging candidates through Gmail, scheduling with Google Calendar, and tracking candidates using Sheets. In July, the company launched Hire and today the service is adding a “candidate discovery” feature. Sundar Pichai closed the I/O 2017 keynote by announcing Google for Jobs - an effort to help employers find candidates through machine learning and prominent job listings in Search.
