Currently, 47 percent of new hires through social media are referred through Facebook, which puts the social network ahead of LinkedIn and Twitter as a recruitment platform.

In addition:

  • 1 in 5 of users have had a friend share a job on Facebook
  • 14 percent search specifically for jobs on Facebook
  • 52 percent use Facebook to help find work
