I think it is too early to judge Google+ and write it off.
Facebook / LinkedIn / Twitter too several years to position themselves where they are currently. For Recruitment - Google+ is much better than FB. FB gives away nothing for Recruiters to search for whereas G+ scores well in this area. With Hangouts, G+ provides a good tool for group chatting. G+ now integrating with Google with their social search feature, gives a greater searching advantage to users for collaborating.
However, G+ has to offer something very unique to score above FB who have standardized Social Media in the industry. People will definitely leave their footprints on G+ but whether G+ is good enough to hook them for long time is remains to be seen. For me - I do login once a day but that's it....
Yes, Google is #1 search engineer on the planet. If you have an internet strategy in place G+ it is working for you.. If you don't have a strategy it won't work/produce results. Good question!
I think a lot of the recruiters who signed up for G+ may be waiting for someone to spoon feed them a template or recipe for how to use it in their businesses. Until then, they are staying in their comfort zones and using tools they've become more comfortable with. I'm probably somewhere in this group which is odd because I'm usually an early adopter especially with technology.
The dynamic reminds me of the inverse of the old joke about the popular restaurant: "No one goes there anymore; it's too crowded." In this case, referring to G+, no one goes there because no one is going there. Someone will figure it out and then everyone will be rushing to dust off their accounts and dive in. I'm nowhere near ready to write Google off!
Google+ has not done enough efforts to increase the no. of users and that is bothering me. Actually with the best search engine like Google, there are many ways to add value and help recruiters
