Facebook started job ads

The launched yesterday a new job classifieds section where users can find work and businesses can post job ads.

With the name "Jobs", The section is already available to everyone, both in browsers as well as through mobile applications .

The Facebook boasted that it had over 2,2 billion monthly active users by the end of 2017 and a large number of these users are likely to look for one or more jobs at some point in their lifetime. The company wants to keep these users connected to its site and "hit" LinkedIn. And of course for all this it is based on "ease of use".

It is known that the a LinkedIn profile can sometimes be complicated and after you manage to create a nice LinkedIn page, the site can bombard you to death with countless notifications every day.

Despite this, LinkedIn (now a division of Microsoft) has maintained its position as the supreme leader in portals of jobs, mainly due to its sheer size.

But Facebook is much larger in users than LinkedIn (500 million in total, 100 million active users per month) and the almost daily friction with it makes it an easy and common platform, which does not alienate the user to apply for a job .

Facebook will automatically fill in the job history fields when you apply for a job, as well as other information it gets from your profile. Of course you can edit your application before submitting it. Businesses will only be able to see the information you provide to them as well as what is publicly available on your Facebook profile. On the other hand, users can subscribe to a company's Facebook page to receive new job notifications.
