I can’t see a lot of quality candidates spending money on advertising themselves on Google … or many candidates at all, for that matter.

And for that reason, I don’t see Google diving into such an endeavor.

Q: Google will certainly help candidates discover employers’ jobs more easily — but will it ever help employers discover relevant candidates more easily?

A: Not unless candidates take to posting their resumes online.
