Overview

Google Hire was an applicant tracking system (ATS) developed by Google to simplify the recruiting process for small to mid-sized businesses. Architecturally, it was built to leverage the existing Google Workspace (formerly G Suite) ecosystem, allowing for seamless synchronization between Gmail, Google Calendar, and the hiring dashboard. In the 2026 market landscape, Google Hire is recognized as a significant legacy product that pioneered the 'native integration' approach to HR Tech before its official sunset on September 1, 2020. While the standalone 'Hire' interface no longer exists, its core technical legacy—specifically its AI-driven search capabilities and candidate matching algorithms—has been absorbed into the Google Cloud Talent Solution API. For businesses in 2026, the tool serves as a benchmark for frictionless user experience in enterprise software. Its market position has been largely replaced by third-party partners like Greenhouse, Lever, and Ashby, which utilize the underlying Google Cloud Talent AI infrastructure. This profile reflects the final operational state and the technical architecture that defined its market-leading integration capabilities.
