But Google is keen on making the process, even more, simpler and doing so in collaboration with the job matching industry. After feedback from job seekers, Google will now let users access salary-related information directly on Search, improved location settings and alternative job choices based on the post being applied for. While these tools roll out immediately, Google also intends to add the ability to save individual jobs in a few weeks. The added tools have been added after extensive research by a team that found an estimated 85 percent of job listings in US have salary information missing. Google have hence tied up with job sources including Glassdoor, PayScale and **LinkedIn** to draw up salary ranges based on the post as well as a comparison to the estimated range for the mentioned job post.

Applying for jobs have also been looked at by the Google team. Since jobs are often listed in multiple places on the web, Google saves these preferences of the job seeker, making it easier for the seeker to apply for jobs using the same site.
