Facebook is one of the fastest growing social networking websites and is quickly becoming a powerful and cost effective portal, ideal for organisations to create that ‘brand connection’ in the Web2.0 world.
Facebook is similar to MySpace, and is known as a free social networking website. Facebook members put together their own profile that lets them post photos, send public and private messages, list their interests and build a directory of friends.
Facebook - Is a networking site used to connect users with the same interests socially. Profile layouts are static and only applications from both Facebook and third parties allow users to add interactive and entertaining applications to their profiles.
Online recruiting via social network websites such as Facebook has exploded in the last few months with good reason. Not only have job posters and job seekers turned to the social networks as an efficient portal to connect with each other, but also, doing this they can apply to job adverts, research employers and recruiters at the same time.
What are Facebook applications?
Most Facebook users today use 3rd party Facebook applications to add some fun and personality to their Facebook profile. Their purpose is to generate content that the user finds is relevant or of interest to them.
There is virtually an application for everything, ranging from a Facebook application that reminds a user when their favourite band is coming to town to a slide show of a collection of sentimental photos. The great thing about Facebook applications is that if it is to be added to a profile, the users listed as a individual’s ‘friends’ are sent an option of also using it. The application then circulates at such a rapid rate exposure is viral.
Working with Recruitment Directory, we can create custom Facebook applications for your Recruitment business. We can create applications such as Job Boards, Latest Jobs, News/RSS Feeds etc.
Each application is designed around your product or service. The result is viral – once posted on Facebook users can repeatedly install your own brand application which generates massive amounts of continuous traffic to your website and expands your brand to significant proportions. This in turn, helps your recruitment process by targeting passive job seekers to apply for jobs.
By creating an application specifically for your business, your consultants will not have to repost their adverts on many different job boards. Our software can easily read XML, RSS or other feeds.
