(firmenpresse) - MONTREAL, QUEBEC -- (Marketwire) -- 12/01/11 -- ATTENTION: NEWS, BUSINESS EDITORS
the worldwide leader in connecting people to job opportunities and flagship brand of (NYSE: MWW), continues to deliver social solutions to meet the evolving needs of employers and job seekers with the introduction of 'Jobs Tab' and 'College Pages' for ™ - Monster's fast-growing professional networking app on Facebook®.
Available globally, the ™ provides even wider recruitment reach for all companies in BeKnown, by automatically distributing brand content and jobs to a company's Facebook Page, leveraging a brand's existing fan base to reach active and passive job seekers at no cost to the company. And to meet the evolving needs of employers and job seekers, the provide an opportunity for current and graduating students to build stronger career networks and professional connections with alumni on Facebook who work at top companies that are hiring.
"Many employers already have people who Like their brand and engage with them and these are professionals who could one day become job candidates - and HR pros and recruiters can now tap into the power of this engagement by making it easy to view all jobs available at their company via the Jobs Tab," said Peter Gilfillan, senior vice president and general manager of Monster Canada. "With College Pages, college graduates can now tap into alumni networks that are a key source for career opportunities today. College Pages also provide the career-focused presence that institutions of higher education need today to connect students to alumni in ways that other professional networks do not readily offer."
Jobs Tab lets employers with a BeKnown Company Profile page automatically distribute recruitment branding elements and job listings --- including BeKnown social job listings, Monster postings and soon all ATS jobs(i) --- to their company Facebook Page, to reach candidates beyond their network of professionals on BeKnown. Unlike other professional networking sites, Monster is not charging companies to provide job listings to their Facebook Pages. If an employer has a Company Profile page in BeKnown, they can simply integrate the Jobs Tab into their main Facebook Page and extend their social recruitment presence to reach a much broader network of professionals on Facebook.
With BeKnown Company Profile Pages and the Jobs Tab, employers will be able to:
BeKnown College Pages provide institutions with a great way to build a professional network of students and alumni through Facebook, and gives page visitors an opportunity to professionally network and discover job opportunities. BeKnown is extending the benefits of its already free job listings by automatically adding jobs posted by alumni to the College profile page; thereby enabling alumni to help their employers find top talent while at the same time contributing to the college community.
With BeKnown College Pages:
Launched in June, the BeKnown professional networking app is available in 19 languages in 36 countries and is also accessible for free via mobile apps on and devices. Visit for more information on BeKnown, or follow BeKnown on and visit the BeKnown for regular updates.
(i)The Jobs Tab is available now and will support all BeKnown and Monster job postings and will support all jobs from a company's ATS beginning in early December if the ATS provides an RSS or XML feed of job postings.
