It's Now Easier to Find Home Jobs in Google Search – TechCrunch

In the last year or so, Google started adding more job search features to its search engine. Today, it extends this program by also facilitating the search for home-based jobs.

Generally, when you are looking for such work, chances are you will be bombarded with poor quality or potentially malicious sites. Now, when you search for a job in Google Search with the help of a query such as "Customer Care Jobs", you can set the location to "Work from home" to search for remote jobs and telecommuting. Google says that a number of job listing sites, including Working Nomads, We Work Remote and ZipRecruiter already support this feature. To filter this work, Google examines the standard Schema.org markup that most sites use to move their offerings to Google Jobs.

"In many user studies, we learned that most remote jobs were not clearly labeled as such," said Google Product Manager Jennifer Su today. . "And our customers told us that it was difficult to accurately detect and remotely redirect opportunities when users entered their work from home or related queries in their search box. By offering this feature to our customers, we hope to make remote work opportunities easier to find for job seekers who need them. "

Google already allows job seekers to filter travel times and types of transit. So it makes sense to add this option to work from home, especially now that more and more employees are looking for this type of flexibility.
