Google Cloud Connect for Microsoft Office: Good for virtual and remote recruiters

Good for virtual and remote recruitersOne of the advantages of G-Recruiting, and cloud recruiting in general, is the ability to share and collaborate. Because data is stored in the cloud anyone who has a link, permission and internet access can find, share, edit, publish and file anything — everything  from a job description to a full-blown site, landing page and apply online to boot. Because changes are made in realtime the pain of emailing stuff back and forth can be avoided. No more worrying about who has which version, or where you filed that precious document. It is also an efficient way to manage large volumes of data, like resumes.

One of the disadvantages, at least for people habituated to Microsoft, is having to figure out how to do stuff that is second nature in a new system like Google. Not that it is that hard, Google has addressed that and more with Google Cloud for Microsoft Office.

I’ve just added Blank Canvas Gmail Signatures to my Firefox extensions. The extension is designed to address this issue.

How to use Google Docs Folders as Labels

Google Operating System Blog says:

Google Docs has a flexible system of organizing documents. While initially Google Docs used a labeling system similar to the one from Gmail, the current version combines the benefits of labels with the simplicity of folders. The interface names them folders, but they’re actually hierarchical labels.

You can add a document to multiple folders without creating copies. Just go to ‘all items’ and drag the document to more than one folder. Since the sidebar doesn’t show subfolders, you can’t drag the document to a subfolder.
