Hi, just wanted to let you know that there is a cool Dutch web application just getting into the market called SocialReferral.com. This allows for automated matching of job posts with your employees’ online networks. Employees can login into a portal where they see the matches and introduce these to there friends on facebook and other media if they see a fit. And ofcourse introduce them to the company as well. For corporates it allows them to see their potential ‘matches’ within their employees’ social networks. This will also be integrated with PeopleXS.com ATS functionality.

Hi Gail,

I totally agree with you. The feedback we have had so far regarding Work For Us is the most valuable source of information for us. For example, many clients have requested the ability to change the tab name (from “Work for us” to “Jobs” for exemple) and we have included that in our Summer developments!

Will definitely let you know as we roll out our new functionalities.

Kind regards,

Chloe

Hi Chloe – thanks for your response to my post…I think there are a lot of exciting things happening with applications like Work With US and JobVite and the other applications that are similar. The key is that as recruiters we know these applications exist, that we all continue to work with the vendors to give our input on what we would love to see as a product feature, etc. In the end, the applicants will have an easier time finding the job they love and hopefully we wil have an easier time finding applicants. Please let me know when your new features are available…we would love to take a look at them.

Hi Gail,

The only issue with existing applications like LinkUp is that you only get a list of links (to jobs) on your Fan Page. Candidates cannot read the full job description on Facebook and they are redirected as soon as they click on the job title.

With Work For Us, candidates have the full experience within Facebook and recruiters can also have their jobs scraped from Indeed (via the “Import jobs” functionality).

A couple of examples of large clients using the app:

We are using LinkUp to post all of our jobs for free on our http://www.facebook.com/intuitcareers fan page – check it out. They are a service similar to Indeed and SimplyHired but they only scrape jobs from corporate websites – allowing applicants a cleaner view of what is available without all of the duplicates. They also have a way for you to put your company job scrape on your personal facebook page as well. Check with them to see what it cost.

I have looked at the JobVite demo and it is really cool. I love the matching feature since as a recruiter I am connected to so many folks – it is great that it will help select my connections to send it to that potentially match the role.

Thanks a lot for the article!

We are in the process of adding both the matching and the tracking functionalities within the Work For Us app, as well as much more.

Will keep you posted!
