Google for Jobs is a type of job search within Google Search. Approximately, 78 % of all job searches start in Google. Therefore, it is not surprising that Google has developed a vertical search engine that aggregates job postings from various job boards, platforms, and career sites. Job postings are displayed directly in Google’s search results — the “job box” containing job ads has position 0, meaning that job postings will be displayed at the very top of the search results.

Since many factors can determine the success of a job ad, it’s not possible to say how many applications your job ad will deliver. Typically, besides how compelling and detailed your job description is, the city or region you are located in, and the kind of job you are posting will play a role in whether you receive the amount of applications you were expecting.
To make Google’s bot recognize your job ad as a job ad while crawling websites, it must contain structured data. This means you’ll need to edit the HTML of the job postings. After setting everything up, Google will continue to pull new jobs as you add them.
