With the addition of job search tools to social networking site Facebook, it’s apparent that recruiters are trying to reach soon-to-be and recent college graduates. For the most part, these applicants operate in a fairly similar way to job search engines.
The main difference is that Facebook’s job search tools enable members to have a frequently updated list of position openings uploaded to their profiles and main pages. This eliminates the need for members to use external job search websites.
Now there’s a new Facebook application that utilizes a user’s already existing company Facebook pages. Jobing Tech recently launched their new Facebook application, called Recent Jobs, which enables you to put your company’s career center directly on Facebook. Now Facebook users can research your company, find a position, and apply for jobs – all without ever leaving Facebook.
If a fan of the company’s Facebook page sees a job and wants to share that job with their network, they can easily share that job directly with a friend or with their entire Facebook network. This feature of the Jobing Facebook app can be used effectively to reward employees with referral program offers.
According to Jobing’s social media manager, Brett Farmiloe, the Recent Jobs Facebook application is helping companies plug careers into current corporate fan pages and helping create a special employment community out of untapped talent pipelines.
“If companies aren’t yet on Facebook,” says Farmiloe, “Jobing can help build and brand a Facebook fan page for your organization.”
By bringing this recruiting application to social networking phenomenon Facebook, employers stand to increase the exposure their job openings receive. Online recruitment continues to be a favorite method for those hiring managers that are at ease with technology.
As businesses continue to take notice of Facebook and other similar sites’ potential to assist in recruiting, applications like Jobing’s should help tap into the power of the masses to fill open positions.

Online networks and Facebook’s new applications may come in handy, but there are also disadvantages to using them in finding a job or an employee. They may act as a double edged sword. There are quite a few stories floating around about employees aged 18-50 with inappropriate photos and stories that happened last week or 25 years ago. One 45 year old nearly lost her job over something that happened in her younger days.
As Samantha on BLT Management’s blog says, “It’s all well and good to post photos for your friends to see, but what would a potential employer think if all he saw was you drinking and partying every night? As we’ve written about before, there are serious risks to candidates: according to the Times, a survey of 600 British companies revealed that one in five had logged on to Facebook and other networking websites to vet potential employees. And the downside for the employer? As with any site where the public are allowed to contribute, you could receive a bad write-up.”
The area between social and professional life is becoming muddier and our lives are under the microscope 24/7. Though I have my online social networks, I try very hard to keep my personal and professional lives separate.
