Facebook teams up with ZipRecruiter to boost job searches on its platform

Facebook has partnered ZipRecruiter which will enable the online job recruitment company to integrate its job posting on Facebook's platform. The new partnership will help Facebook keep up the pace with Microsoft's LinkedIn and Alphabet owned Google. The new integration allows employers to upload job postings directly through ZipRecruiter Dashboard.

Users can fill out the job applications through Facebook, which will are funneled back through the ZipRecruiter Dashboard, allowing employers to view all of their applicants in one place. As for the job seekers, the company said,"this integration creates a seamless way for Facebook users to find and apply for jobs quickly and easily."

Facebook's PM for Jobs, Gaurang Dosi said in a statement, "40% of US small businesses report that filling jobs was more difficult than they expected, which is challenging when you consider that these small businesses also employ nearly half of the country’s workforce." He said that, "Facebook's goal is to take the work out of finding a local job and hiring the right people. This partnership with ZipRecruiter is another way we’re making the process even easier for people and businesses alike."

The partnership is not exclusive to ZipRecruiter as Facebook is looking for more job aggregators. Both the companies declined to comment about the details of the deal.
