Facebook to launch its own job recruitment service

Facebook will become a recruiter, by launching its own job board after teaming with existing job-posting companies, according to PTI.
Citing anonymous sources, media reports said that BranchOut, Jobvite and Work4Labs will be at least three of the companies that will pair with the platform.

Many bigger companies have career recruitment presence on Facebook already, but a centralised engine behind job postings and searches would feed the engagement metrics.

Last October, the social networking site initiated its move towards becoming a source for job hunters by teaming up with the US Department of Labor and three employment-related agencies in an attempt to decrease the country's 9.1 per cent unemployment rate using social media -- a project that may eventually include a Facebook job posting system.

A job board that lives on Facebook could put the social network in direct competition with sites like LinkedIn and Monster.com.
