Facebook is the new Linkedin

Facebook is has become a platform that offers a multiplicity of of internal services. The purpose of the Social Network is is to ensure that users do not need to leave Facebook to carry out actions. This time the role that Zuckerberg's social network wants to play is the one so far covered by Linkedin.

Facebook has recently launched Workplace, a social network, the first and only paid one, dedicated exclusively to companies which, in addition to the classic actions such as likes and comments, also has a tool that involves sending files between colleagues.

Workplace has 90% of the functions of the social network of Zuckerberg, to which it adds tools such as one-to-one high definition video calling and audio conference calling. Strengths are: Multi-company Groups, automatic translation, Trending posts, Search filters. Multi-company groups are those shared groups that allow employees from different organizations to work together, as long as they are are present on Facebook Workplace.

The news that Zuckerberg wants to insert is the publication of job adverts and the collection of applications through one's company pages, all directly from the Facebook wall.

Already Today, information on education, past experiences and quality is collected on Facebook. All these characteristics and the profile tags added directly by users will serve to define interests and skills. But the news more important is the possibility to find work directly on the social network. Those responsible for the pages of a company or a company will be able to create job adverts. User applications for jobs will pass through Facebook.

This idea comes from a phenomenon that already exists on the Social Network: it is used by 80% of candidates and 64% of human resources managers.

But be careful, social media is already being used. “spied on” by headhunters. The profile image we use on social media and the posts we make can often be a reason for rejection by human resources. In this regard, last year, 35% of Adecco headhunters rejected candidates due to photos and posts seen on social networks.

Even though recruiting on Facebook is still just an idea, we advise you to take a look at your profile and maybe, if you are looking for a job, make it a little more more similar to that of Linkedin.
