This product was fairly recent if I'm not wrong, just slightly over 2 years old

IIRC, it was an acquihire situation. The founder sold their company to Google, presumably as a condition of accepting a role as the head of Google Cloud. She's no longer at Google, so it makes some sense that they're not running her service at a loss.

Does anyone have recommendations for good alternatives? We were sure this would be a good idea when moving to it. :(

We use Lever and have been pretty happy with it. Easy to use and good integrations.

While this is splendid news of another fallen Google product, I'm afraid this time it is different. Google has a similar alternative to outgrow and to completely replace Hire which is called Byteboard [0].

Do you mean Diane Green? What the company's name that was sold to Google?
