Indeed + Facebook = Indeed Friends
I’m not sure if this is a new feature of Indeed.com, but I only noticed it this morning. It’s a marriage of Indeed.com and Facebook to create a service similar in intent to LinkedIn.
To activate it: At the bottom of any Indeed.com search page, look for a Facebook button with the wording “Find jobs where your friends work” above it. Click the link and grant Indeed permission to access your Facebook account. Indeed will search the employment history your Facebook friends have given in their profiles. Any job listing that is at one of the companies your friends have listed (either as a current or past employer) will include a note letting you know that one of your Facebook friends is/was associated with that company.
It’s a great concept, and one that rivals at least the theory behind LinkedIn. It’s also a simple way to put that carefully-built social network to work for you in your job search!
