She donated all of her share ($150m) to charity to boot.
That's nice, but let's be honest: She is a billionaire, and will continue to make hundreds of millions, if not billions of dollars during her future tenure at Google. A person of average means donating $500 may be a bigger personal sacrifice than Greene donating $150M.
I 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…
HN should build a bot that posts this comment automatically on every Google post to save these guys from having to type the same thing over and over.
Maybe the bot could also post an "If you provide a free service, how are you obligated to provide it forever?" response, to save me having to.
We've tried Workable, Lever and about half a dozen other platforms. None of them stuck. What has worked is to do everything in GitHub. We wrote about it a few years ago [1] and should probably write an updated version of our approach, but in a nutshell; - When candidates apply through our online form on our website or via email, we create a GitHub issue and assign it to the right person on our team. - Everybody on th…
Why did they not stick? What were they doing wrong?

That sounds like it was unworkable in Firefox. Maybe FF just isn't a very good browser? You can be standards-compliant while implementing the standards with performance problems and ugly corner-cases.
It works in Firefox. Always has. Change the UA, and it just works. This is the same story as when Google made Inbox a "Chrome-Exclusive" that also didn’t run in Safari, Opera, or even fucking Chromium. It’s just anticompetitiveness.
I find it interesting how a word's proper usage is in a case that it's opposite would work better!
Anticompetitive is the right word in your sentence, of course, but google isn't anti-competitive in this case with firefox. It is ultra-competitive!
This product is built by the team that joined through bebop, a $380M acquisition which came with Diane Greene, who now heads Google Cloud (Chief of Cloud), and Bogomil Balkansky who now heads Hired (VP). https://venturebeat.com/2016/01/04/google-paid-380m-to-buy-b...
Small clarification in case it confused anyone else: Bogomil Balkansky heads the OP Google product, `Hire`, not the unrelated recruiting company `Hired`.

I dont know why this is being down-voted. While what she did is great, it is a true point in terms of personal sacrifice. I saw an interview with Bill Gates where he said much the same thing to a comment about his generosity. He pointed out he doesn't sacrifice a single item/experience he wants in life giving away what he does. And a ordinary person that gives a few hundred gives up more than him in terms of what it…

I was just about to select a recruitment management service. Both Lever and Greenhouse has "call us" pricing, and sadly Google Hire follows the same trend. Only Workable has a clear pricing page, which gives them a big plus in my book. Since we're on G Suite, Hire could be a natural fit but the requirement to book a demo (and the accompanying upside-down shaking to see how much money falls out of our pockets) is a bi…
Stay away from Lever. It's a slick web application along the lines of the fanciness of Asana's interface. What it isn't is a sane applicant tracking system. It doesn't reliably notify you when candidates apply. It supports virtually zero job board integrations. It very much wants you to adapt to it, with very little support for the other way around. The interface is over-complicated to the point of being unusable for…
I haven't heard any complaints from the recruiting team either, so it seems to work at least reasonably well for them too.
They might not have integrations with other job boards, but as someone interviewing, I prefer that since Lever had the best application interfaces of any job application site.

In positive news, it'll probably be only a couple of years until Google gets bored of being in that space and either shutters the product or spins it off to an independent company.
It's part of Gsuite, so that's unlikely.
Both from the outside looking in, and from discussions with people who have worked in Google, the overwhelming impression I get is that anywhere outside of a few key areas, it's mostly a bunch of geeks playing with something until they get bored.
