Facebook Becoming A Powerful Job Searching Tool

When most people think of a social media site that's tailored to job searching and recruitment, the obvious answer seems to be LinkedIn. However, Facebook is becoming more prominent in those arenas just by sheer volume. Many of the site's 955 million users are eager to connect their job applications to their profiles, according to Susan Vitale, chief marketing officer of recruitment platform iCims. Vitale told AllFacebook that through iCims' technology, more people are tying their application to their Facebook pages than their LinkedIn profiles.
