Jobvite, a social recruiting platform for the web, has introduced a new social job app for Facebook to let companies share and match jobs with job-seekers directly inside the social network.
"Our new social job app gives any employee an easy, authentic way to refer jobs to friends in their networks, while respecting their privacy and need to keep personal and professional information separate," CEO and President Dan Finnigan says in a press release.
Installing the "Work With Us" app creates a jobs tab on any Facebook business fan page. Employers can manage all job applications within Facebook and applicants can track the status of their applications. Facebook users must first install the Jobvite app.
Jobvite customers include Zynga, Zappos, Starbucks, LinkedIn and Twitter.
Comapnies using Jobvite see 43% of employee social referral hires from Facebook, according to the Jobvite Index and 77% of job-seekers use Facebook, according to Jobvite statistics.
San Francisco-based Jobvite was founded in 2003 as ForumJobs and changed its name in 2006.
