The European Commission is conducting a preliminary antitrust investigation into Google’s job search tool “Google for Jobs.”
In a speech Tuesday, EU Competition Commissioner Margrethe Vestager drew parallels between Google for Jobs and the company’s comparison shopping service, which was the subject of a $2.7 billion antitrust fine in 2017.
Rival job search companies sent a letter to Vestager earlier this month urging a formal antitrust investigation.
Google said it has made a number of changes to the tool to address “feedback” it has received in Europe.
