Facebook began to test the vacancies publication service

The Facebook social network has begun testing a new function that allows companies to publish information about open vacancies on their pages, and to applicants to respond to them, writes Techncrunch .

According to the representative of Facebook, the new tool was launched following the results of monitoring the activity of companies, which showed that they are often looking for new employees, publishing relevant notes on their pages. Now, pages administrators who gained access to the new function can use the special tab "Work", which allows you to describe the vacancy and publish it.

The posts published in this way contain information about the name of the position, working graphics and salary, and also have special formatting, which allocates them against the background of other records in the tape.

In turn, applicants can respond to the vacancy using a special button. After that, the company will receive a user resume, including data from his profile, in the form of a personal message.

The deadlines for the full launch of a new function in the company do not specify. At the same time, as TechCrunch notes, this innovation of Facebook can make serious competition of the Linkedin social network owned by Microsoft. So, the important advantage of Facebook is a significantly larger number of users - 1.79 billion people against 467 million Linkedin users. In addition, Facebook users enter the social network much more often.
