The boys are back after the 4th holiday and Chad trekking to Oregon for college visitations. And it’s a good thing, because the news was hot-and-heavy this week. Google Hire officially launched. Are the guys impressed or not? Indeed and LinkedIn were also making waves this week. In Indeed’s case, the product offerings continue to come down the pike. One of the guys is not impressed.

LinkedIn, on the other hand, is busy leveraging its relationship with Microsoft to get deeper into Windows 10 and video. And they also really, really hates when people do (tune in to find out). Additionally, some start-up just got a check for $30 million to take on this segment of the industry. In other news, some head of HR said a certain social media app was the “new LinkedIn.” Really? Really?!?!

As usual, visit partners America’s Job Exchange, Sovren and Wonscore by Wonderlic. Without them, there ain’t no show, people. Enjoy and stay cool. It’s friggin’ hot out there.
