#2It's easy to forget, but LinkedIn doesn't have rich resume data of candidates. With Hire, Google now gets rich resume & employee data - data, when coupled with search history, that can now be used to build better user profiles than before.
Given this, "Hire" is (or could become) a trojan horse into replacing the network effect that LinkedIn has created.

Linkedin doesnt have resumes?? Every linkedin profile is technically a resume. Dates, roles, qualifications are all there along with references.

I think this is going to run into all sorts of potential problems in the EU.

#6"Google says Hire is meant to help businesses do away with manually tracking candidates. "
Right, because there's no other software that exists to track applicants: http://www.softwareadvice.com/hr/applicant-tracking-software...

I won't be using Hire to host my resume that's for sure.

Just like Slack wasn’t the first to offer chat in a business setting or Google offering internet search, you don’t have to be first.

This. Everybody I know uses LinkedIn as their de-facto resume. It is their most up to date and complete CV with all roles, dates, recommendations, education information, skills, links to projects etc.
LinkedIn definitely has very rich resume data.

#10I for one, will never use a Google product again. They level of creepiness and data they have on all their users is insane.
I personally have switched to DuckDuckGo, Fastmail, FireFox (the mobile browser is awesome btw), and will replace Android as soon as a viable alternative is presented. Smooth sailing.
The problem with Google, is they are building a repository for themselves, but also for government. Couple that with their willingness to kill products, and you'd have to be insane to trust their services.
