There is lots of advice out there about how you can find your next job on Facebook, but now it seems that the popular social networking site is going to make that task even easier by launching its own job board.<\/p>\n
A recent article from NASDAQ claims that Facebook is planning to launch its own job board later this summer, although the article couldn\u2019t credit its source, saying only that the information came from \u201cpeople familiar with the matter.\u201d<\/p>\n
If it does become a reality, the job board could pose a huge threat to competitors – specifically LinkedIn – as well as other companies that develop apps to help companies showcase their jobs on Facebook.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn recent years, the success of sites like LinkedIn, which merge users\u2019 personal and professional histories with information about jobs, have put pressure on once-dominant sites like Monster.com,\u201d the article notes. \u201cWhile job seekers once considered sharing information on Facebook to be a liability when finding a job, today a host of companies, including those partnering in the new job board, have popped up promising to better match job seekers and recruiters using profile information from Facebook users.\u201d<\/p>\n
