According to NZHerald Google may be making a system to help companies evaluate potential employees. It could give them access to things like your search history and youtube videos.

 

If this goes ahead, which seems unlikely because it would be such an invasion of privacy, I bet a significant number of people would close their Google accounts. As useful as drive, docs, calendar, gmail, etc is, privacy is more important.

 

 

 

From The Herald

 

It will reportedly be a recruitment tool similar to LinkedIn - however, early reports suggest it will be available through your personal Google account.

 

If that's the case, it will link things like your search history and YouTube account with your job applications, laying it all bare for employers to see.

"Google Hire is a product under development that will help G Suite customers manage their hiring process more effectively. The product will allow employers to collect candidate applications online. Only information that a candidate voluntarily provides would be passed to a prospective employer as part of their online application. Private information will not be shared."
