Madgex adds all its job boards now have the ability to integrate with Google's new search results.

This helps to track how well your job listings are doing in Google search. Where available, reviews and ratings of employers and even commute time to the office will be provided along with the search results. To make that happen, Google is collaborating with other companies from across the industry, including LinkedIn, Monster, WayUp, DirectEmployers, CareerBuilder, Glassdoor and Facebook.

Madgex CEO Tom Ricca-McCarthy said: "We power some of the leading brands in online recruitment, which led to Google approaching us to work on this new feature".

The option to search for jobs will be part of Google in English on desktop and mobile. Search results will also include companies with job listings on their homepage.

In addition, job seekers are able to filter by location and job title, among other criteria.

It's also worth noting here that employers who don't use third-party websites to list their openings can also have their open positions included in Google Search by making a few tweaks to their website - they simply have to mark up their job listings with Job Posting structured data and submit a sitemap with a lastmod date for each listing. Just turn on alerts for your search to receive an email notification whenever new jobs arrive, keeping you up-to-date and on top of your job hunt.

Google for Jobs is now available in the U.S. on desktop and mobile search.

Google's product manager Nick Zakrasek told TechCrunch: "Finding a job is like dating".

When advertising jobs through the platform, queries with "clear intent" such as a head of catering in New York City or entry-level roles in DC will be displayed with a job listings preview, and each job can then be clicked to expand and show further details.
