You
Are Google's Passive Job Recruit
 By

Not content with bringing Kai-Fu Lee out of Redmond, Google seems intent on bringing
other Microsoft staffers in from the cold.
Have you egosurfed today? Are you
a Microsoft staffer with hot skills? Did you find a sponsored link to Google Jobs
at the top of the first search result page?
A post at Connected
Internet observes how a Google query for a MSN search staffer named Susan
Dumais returned an interesting link on the first SERP:

For years, employers and employment agencies have sought "passive" job recruits.
These are people who are employed and not actively searching for another position.
This of course makes them highly desirable by other employers.
Google seems to be using its AdSense technology to help liberate other passive
recruits from other employers. Reportedly, Google's quest for the best and brightest
has driven up salaries for people with certain programming capabilities and skill
sets. Since they hire so many people as well as paying them a decent salary, other
tech companies have supposedly had difficulty bringing similar employees on board.
That situation may have gotten worse for those companies. Google's dominant share
in search queries could mean more worthy techies may find themselves seeing a
sponsored link to Google's job bank.
