Inability to parse keywords with non-alphanumberic characters: Previously, Cloud Talent Solution was unable to parse queries such as A.B.C.D and match them against literals in the job description field and custom attribute fields. This is now fixed.

Limit distributorCompanyId size: The distributorCompanyId field of a job now has a limit of 255 characters.

May 04, 2018

v3

Job expiration changes: This release extends the allowed retention period for expired jobs within the Google database from 60 days to 90 days (default) and, upon request, up to 360 days. This release also allows for updating expired jobs (including re-setting the expiration date of an expired job to a future date) and updating the expireTime field introduced in the last release. expireTime allows customers to set the format of an expiration date to a DateTime (ms timestamp) instead of a Date at 0:00 UTC. In cases where both the expireTime and expiryDate are added to a job, the expireTime takes precedence.

Restriction on number of Location filters: This release restricts the number of Location filters to no more than 5.

Limit autocomplete results to specific languageCode: Previously, for complete API requests, if languageCode included "en-US" Cloud Job Discovery incorrectly discarded the "US" bit and returned all jobs with languageCode starting with "en" even if the search language code had been set to "en-US". Now only jobs corresponding to the languageCode are returned.

Quota lookup for Google Cloud Projects: Customers of Cloud Job Discovery can view the quotas allocated to their Google Cloud Projects by looking up the APIs & Services section of the Google Cloud Console. If you require more quota than has been allocated, file a ticket from our support page.

April 13, 2018

v3

API Schema changes: Cloud Job Discovery has added several new fields in the schema and corresponding deprecated fields in order to standardize the naming of fields. Deprecated fields have been marked "deprecated" in the schema.

Several List APIs deprecated: Several list APIs such as listCustomFields, listJobCategories, etc are now deprecated. This should not impact existing customers since the APIs have been non-active for the past several months.

Cloud Job Discovery has released new customAttribute fields on jobs. These fields work in a similar manner to the existing filterableCustomFields, with the following new features:
Define your own custom field name: The advanced custom fields allow you to define your own name for the custom fields, rather than use a specific index value (as is the case in regular custom fields)

  • Case insensitive search: The search request is now able to specify if a case sensitive or case insensitive match is required.
  • Support for numeric values: customAttributes can store either string or numeric values.
  • Range based filtering: customAttribute search filters can filter jobs between a range of specified values. For example, if a given customAttribute field is used to store salary information, the customAttribute filter can be used to return jobs with a certain salary, jobs with a salary greater than a specified value, jobs between a range of specified values, etc.
  • Cross-field filtering: Advanced custom fields also provide customers of Cloud Job Discovery with the ability to define expressions that filter a combination of advanced custom field values. For example, a customer has business logic that states they only want jobs that sponsor visas, or jobs paying more than $100K. A customer can use one advanced custom field to indicate if the job is sponsored, and another for the salary. The customer can then specify a search filter with an expression that defines the logic needed. Only 3 levels of nested expressions are supported.
  • Keyword specific search: Specify a certain customAttribute in the keywordSearchableCustomAttribubte of the associated company to ensure search requests that contain a value in the specified custom field return the jobs that contain this value in that custom field.
  • SQL based searches:strong> customAttributes allows you to define boolean-style expressions in the search request. Cloud Job Discovery automatically parses these expressions, applies the filters to the search request, and returns results accordingly.
  • Define custom histogram buckets: customAttributesallow customers of Cloud Job Discovery to set custom buckets by which histograms can be calculated. For example, you can use a customAttribute to store salary information, and then create a histogram on the field. You can further create buckets from 10000 - 20000, 20000 - 30000, etc to group all the salaries within these buckets.

Merged Search and Histogram call: The search API structure has been modified to include a request for a histogram in the same call. This merged search and histogram API call is backward-compatible, to ensure that you can continue to use it as before. The histogram returned as a part of this call respects all the filters of the associated search.

Change to the way CJD returns fields: Cloud Job Discovery will no longer return empty or NULL job fields in the search results. If a job has been created without a certain field (for example, the compensationInfo field) or if this field is set to NULL, the search response will not contain this field.

New API for Search for Alerts: There is a new Search API endpoint - searchJobsForAlerts that has been created exclusively to provide relevant job content targeted to passive job seekers (such as for email alert campaigns). This API is preferred over the current means of specifying the MODE of a searchJobs API call to EMAIL_ALERT_SEARCH. Customers can also see the quota associated with this type of search in the Google Cloud Console under the PeriodicTaskGroup.

Compensation histogram change: A request to generate a histogram by compensation does not accept the same searchType to be repeated more than once on a single request.

New expiration date features: A new field -expireTime has been introduced on the job object. This field allows customers of Cloud Job Discovery to specify the exact time a job is set to expire.

nextPageToken throwing 500 error on broadened errors: Previously, Cloud Job Discovery was incorrectly throwing 500 errors on search requests that had the pageToken set such that the set of returned results were only broadened results ( by setting the flag enableBroadening to true). This has been fixed.

Use regionCode to specify preferred language: Cloud Job Discovery has introduced an optional search parameter regionCode to specify the preferred country in which jobs are to be found in. For example, by setting this field to UK, a location-based search for jobs in Reading would return jobs in Reading, UK as opposed to Reading, MA, USA.

March 19, 2018

v3

Improvements to inferred street address coverage: Cloud Job Discovery can now infer the street address of more jobs where the actual street address is not provided. This directly improves the accuracy of searches by commute time and gives job seekers more visibility into the actual location of the job.

Allow to update expired jobs: Updating expired jobs is now supported. Expired/deleted jobs can also now be reactivated by updating the expiryDate field. However, a job cannot be reactivated, if there is already an open job with the same companyName, requisitionId, and locale.

The requestMetadata fields in the search request are now required fields: The requestMetadata fields in the search request are now required fields. Search requests that do not include this information are rejected with a 4xx error. Customers who have existing Cloud Job Discovery accounts as of 3/12/2018 are exempt from this requirement, but are encouraged to send these fields with every search request, to maximize the improvements gained from Cloud Job Discovery.

March 09, 2018

v3

Compensation Currency filter:A compensation currency filter is now available. This filter can be set on the search call to ensure only jobs with a specified currency denomination are returned.

Create and Update calls are now asynchronous by default: The default behavior of job creation and update API requests is now asynchronous.

Minor fixes have been made to the accuracy of the histogram API.

Completion API by company modification: Completion API suggestions for company type-aheads will no longer include companies that have no open jobs. For example, a complete API call for the query "Goog" will not return "Google" as a suggestion if the company defined as Google in your system does not have any open jobs.

New user behavior event: A new event type, APPLICATION_REDIRECT_FROM_SERP, has been added to provide the added flexibility of representing an event where a job seeker tried to apply for a job from the search results page and was immediately taken to a different domain to complete the application process.

Removal of telecommmute flag from Job benefits: The "telecommute" option has been removed from the job benefit type. Customers are instead encouraged to set the TELECOMMUTE option under the Region field for jobs that do offer remote work as an option.

Histogram support for compensation based filters: The compensation filters in the V2 libraries now include histogram support. The API will now also generate histograms based on the compensation information. This would support functionality such as providing job counts for filtering by compensation amount, filtering by currency, etc.

Sort jobs by compensation: The API will now allow job seekers to sort jobs based on compensation information.

February 09, 2018

v3

Commute search in V2: Searching for jobs by commute time is now possible in V2 of Cloud Job Discovery. This can be done by setting the CommuteFilter of the search request. Look up this tutorial for instructions on how to use the commute filter.

Extended Compensation Filters: Jobs can now be created with additional information regarding overall compensation using the extendedCompensationInfo field. The extended compensation can further be filtered against using the extendedCompensationFilter of the search request. This can be further used to filter by a range of salaries, histogram by salaries, etc.

More use cases that lead to error messages are being tagged with a unique requestId to help troubleshooting.

Improved Job recall and counting: Cloud Job Discovery can now return up to 5000 jobs with an accurate result count (by setting the search field enablePreciseResultSize and looking up the totalSize field in the search response.

Reduced latency of search calls: The end to end latency of Cloud Job Discovery search calls has been reduced.

November 21, 2017

v3

Job Language Code: Fixed a bug where language code "id_id" was converted to "in_in".

Compensation Filter: Providing a minimum compensation value that is greater than the maximum compensation value will now result in an HTTP 400 response code (BAD REQUEST).

Expired jobs are now available for 60 days via jobs.get. Expired jobs are read-only.

November 05, 2017

v3

Search Offset: The offset field is now included in the search request. You can use this field to specify the page of results to return.

The histogram call no longer returns a 500 error when the compensation filter is specified

The histogram call now returns an accurate job count for the specified filters.

The completion API now returns values if the scope of the request is specified as "TENANT".

In some cases, deleted/expired jobs were being returned as part of the search results. This behavior has now been corrected. Deleted/Expired jobs will not be returned in the search results.

October 25, 2017

v3

Search by Requisition ID: Recruiters can now specify a particular Job RequisitionID to search for using the construct Req:123-somerequisitionId in the query string.

Specify custom fields that a regular search can match against: Use the keywordSearchableCustomFields field of the company object to define which custom fields a regular search can match against. For example, if this field contains the values [1,5,10], and the query string is "abcd", then a search call on this company would also return jobs in which the value "abcd" is in custom field 1,5 or 10.

New Histogram facet - Company_Title

Delete Jobs by RequisitionID: There is now a new API call to delete all jobs with a specific requisitionID. An error will be thrown if the JobReqisitionID does not exist.

Filter by Salary: New JobFilter to filter jobs within a specific salary range. If a job contains the compensationAmount, the filter will be applied to the compensationAmount. If a job has no compensationAmount, but does have a compensationAmountMin and compensationAmountMax, the filter will be applied to that range (inclusive of range limits).

Expiration date restriction: Jobs can now have a maximum expiration date of 2100/12/31. Any job creation with an expiry date outside this range will throw an error message.

Improvements to histogram accuracy: Improvements have been made to the accuracy of the histogram count. V2beta1 users must now mandatorily include the RequestHeader in the histogram call. The requestHeader must be exactly the same as that of the associated search call.

Errors are no longer thrown in certain cases where the location is empty during job creation/updation.

Improvements to location resolution and latency

Fixed a typo that returned "Singapore, " instead of "Singapore" as a value in the histogram results.

Detection of job titles and employment types: Queries such as "intern" will now look for jobs with an employment type as intern as well as jobs with the keyword "intern" in the job title or description

Fixed a bug that prevented updation of the compensationAmount field to null.

Fixed a bug that disregarded the location filter of a search in V2.

September 26, 2017

v3

Announcing Cloud Job Discovery private beta release. See the Cloud Job Discovery Documentation.

August 09, 2017

v3

New Histogram Filter Job_ADMIN1_COUNTRY: Clients can now retrieve a histogram by both State (or equivalent) and Country.

Sample response:

{
results:
  {"results":
    [
      {
        "field":"JOB_ADMIN1_COUNTRY",
        "values":
          {
            "WA, US":1,
            "CA, US":3,
            "NJ, US":1,
            "ON, CA":2
          }
      }
    ]
  }
}

Disable street address identification: A new flag to disable street address identification has been introduced to allow clients to explicitly disallow the API from identifying the underlying street address of a job during job creation. This is intended for use for staffing agencies where the identified company address may not correspond to the actual job location.

New Jobs Analytics tracking event: A new Pub/Sub event type APPLICATION_COMPANY_SUBMIT has been added for staffing agencies who submit the application on behalf of the candidate.

400 errors while updating the same job successively: The API no longer throws 400 FAILED_PRECONDITION errors when clients send multiple update requests at the same time.

Improvements to error reporting capabilities: Error reporting and handling capabilities of the API have been improved. We expect no changes to the underlying functionality, however, the error messages may have new formatting in some cases.

July 26, 2017

v3

State and Nationwide Job Posting: Customers will now be able to specify certain jobs as Statewide or Nationwide, with these jobs appearing in the search results of cities within that state or country.

Contractor for Hire Employment Type: A new employment type, Contractor For Hire, has been introduced.

New Method for email alert Search: A new search API endpoint has been introduced specifically for search that provides results to be sent in job alert emails. The use of this endpoint will help improve relevance for this use case in the future.

Search for Jobs published in the last 3 days: A Published Date type, PAST_3_DAYS, has been introduced.

Improved location resolution for commute search: Commute search will now give higher relevance scoring to jobs with a specified street level address.

Different SortBy options return different number of results: The sortBy option was previously returning a different number of results for sorting by Published Date and sorting by Title. This issue has now been resolved. The expected behavior is that sorting by all options except for sorting by relevance will have the same number of results returned.

June 13, 2017

v3

Histogram by Job Category: The Histogram API now provides the option to get a histogram by Job Category.

Resolved Internal Server Error messages: Internal server error messages have been resolved for the following cases:

  • Creating a duplicated job.
  • Calling the listCompanies API or the listCompanyJobsAPI with a negative page size.
  • Creating a job with a negative compensationAmount, compensationAmountMin or compensationAmountMax.

Sort By Updated Date: The sortBy field on UPDATED_DATE_DESC has been fixed.

JobCategory ANIMAL_CARE: The JobCategory ANIMAL_CARE has been enhanced to better recognize related jobs.

June 01, 2017

v3

Commute Search: The ability to search for jobs by commute time is now available for initial testing. This feature is experimental and is subject to improvements and changes in future releases.

Integration Account Indexing: Integration accounts will now have instant indexing capabilities. Jobs uploaded to our database will be searchable within moments. Queries which cannot be indexed due to quota restrictions will return an exception and will have to be retried.

Pub/Sub Event Schema: Some field names in the pub/sub event schema have been modified to comply with industry-standard naming conventions. Backward compatibility support for the old fields exists, but you are encouraged to work with the Cloud Job Discovery support team to establish a migration timeline.

Pub/Sub Event Types: Specific application types are now available to record quick applies and apply redirects. If your service offers these features, consider implementing them to improve search relevancy.

Company HQ Location: The Company HQ location parameter has been changed to be an optional value. Providing this field may increase the relevance of location-based searches.
