Facebook on Wednesday posed a challenge to Microsoft-owned LinkedIn by letting businesses in the US or Canada post jobs and take applications from job seekers.
The platform’s users will be able to find help-wanted posts at business pages on Facebook or by looking in a new ‘jobs’ bookmark on the leading social network’s mobile application.
“Businesses and people already use Facebook to fill and find jobs, so we’re rolling out new features that allow job posting and application directly on Facebook,” the California-based internet giant said in an online message.
Job postings may appear in news feed streams if companies pay to promote them.
Clicking on an “apply now” button will open an online form already filled out with relevant information from a person’s Facebook profile, according to the social network.
Applicants will then be able to add, edit, and review forms before submitting them, according to Facebook.
The US tech giant, which is shifting away from dependence on software to a broader array of services, said the LinkedIn acquisition boosted its revenue in the last three months of the year but dragged on profit.
Microsoft also owns a small piece of Facebook due to an investment in the social network about a decade ago.
