Facebook is hiring for a few positions that might interest you
Job seekers can now use Facebook (NASDAQ: FB) to search and apply at local businesses directly on the site in more than 40 countries around the world. This gives small businesses a whole new way to recruit talent.
Job Seekers Can Now Apply to Jobs on Facebook
When Facebook allowed job postings on its site in February of 2017, it was limited to the US and Canada. But with 70 million businesses on Facebook already using the platform to connect with potential employees, making it official globally was the next natural step.
Local businesses are primarily made up of small firms, and they employ more than half of the working population in the US. This percentage is similarly high in other countries as well. Bringing together both sides on Facebook provides a forum for more open communications to find the right fit.
To illustrate this, Facebook highlighted the experiences of several businesses in its newsroom announcement. In one instantce, Benjamin Hammel, operations manager at Sky Zone, an indoor trampoline park in Illinois, said,
“We had more of the right type of candidate apply through Facebook… It was also much easier to look through applications on Facebook, and I think it was easier for candidates to complete job postings.”
Sky Zone filled 11 positions after receiving more than 200 applications through the social network.
