Facebook Rolls Out Job Search Feature In 40 Countries
Facebook Inc., the social media giant, rolled out its update, the Job Search feature in 40 countries. Although Facebook launched this feature over a year ago, it was only available in United States of America and Canada. The new update will now be available in Brazil, U.K., France, Germany, Italy and Spain among other countries.
In a blog post, Facebook’s Vice President of Local, Alex Himel said based on feedback from both users and businesses, the company added new features to improve the job search tool. While LinkedIn is one such application for users to search for jobs and potential candidates, Facebook’s aim is to make itself more meaningful to people’s lives while laying the foundation for a lucrative business.
Businesses will now be able to post job openings to the Jobs tab on their Page, Jobs dashboard, Facebook Marketplace, the News Feed and promote these posts using the Facebook ads. At the same time, users seeking for jobs can discover new openings, auto fill the applications using their Facebook profile information, edit and submit the application. As an added feature they can also communicate with companies on the Messenger app to further schedule interviews. Additionally, job seekers will also be notified when a particular company updates its job listings. In September in 2017, Facebook partnered with the job aggregator company ZipRecruiter to strengthen its offering in this field.
Alex Himel further added, “We know there is more Facebook can do to connect people and businesses. Since 2011, Facebook has invested more than $1 billion to help local businesses grow and help people find jobs. And in 2018 we plan to invest the same amount in more teams, technology and new programs. Because when businesses succeed, communities thrive.”
Facebook recently launched their Marketplace service in select cities in India. In an attempt to strengthen its presence in the country, the company also launched the Messenger Lite app for users with old smartphone models or slow Internet connections. If successful, this move will prove social media is more than just a place for teenagers and adults alike to waste time.
