Facebook is adding job listings, again

Meta wants you to find your adjacent gig connected Facebook.

Meta, a institution that is not shy astir bolting caller features onto its platforms, is bolting different caller diagnostic onto Facebook: jobs. This 1 is really a throwback — Facebook initially introduced occupation postings successful 2017, lone to discontinue it little than 5 years later. But jobs are backmost now, with an accent toward section entry-level, service, and commercialized work.

Job listings are featured successful a tab successful the Marketplace conception of Facebook, but Meta says they whitethorn besides beryllium surfaced successful applicable groups. Business pages tin besides station their ain listings. Jobs are disposable lone to those 18 and older, and must conscionable Facebook’s guidelines. There are a fewer evident exclusions — nary big services oregon drugs — but in-person childcare is besides disconnected limits. That’s funny, due to the fact that there’s astatine slightest 1 Facebook radical successful my vicinity dedicated wholly to uncovering and hiring nannies.

Scrolling done immoderate of the occupation listings successful Seattle, it looks similar it’s being adopted truthful acold arsenic a integer mentation of hanging up a “Help Wanted” motion connected the doorway of your edifice oregon business. And it makes sense, due to the fact that extracurricular of Nextdoor, a batch of section transportation happens done Facebook groups. It’s surely my preferred level erstwhile I privation to find retired wherefore the region sheriff’s chopper is circling the vicinity connected a Tuesday afternoon.

This update really marks a instrumentality for jobs connected Facebook. The institution first introduced occupation listings successful 2017 successful the US and Canada, expanding to much than 40 countries successful 2018. In 2022, Facebook reverted to supporting lone the US and Canada, and yet shut down the programme successful 2023. The level inactive allowed radical to station listings successful the signifier of ads — which didn’t spell large for Facebook erstwhile organizations advertizing jobs used targeting to exclude groups based connected sex and spiritual inheritance from seeing them. This behaviour is prohibited by the favoritism policy that applies to anyone utilizing the caller occupation posting tool, thankfully. Facebook’s re-launched jobs diagnostic is disposable starting today, and lone successful the US.
