In an online poll of 5,000 adults conducted by Morning Consult, one in four people in the U.s.a. said they searched for, or found a task using Facebook. Since introducing chore postings on Facebook in the United states of america and Canada last year, nosotros've built new features for businesses like the ability to create job posts on mobile, manage applications, and schedule interviews.

"We had more of the right type of candidate apply through Facebook… It was also much easier to expect through applications on Facebook, and I think information technology was easier for candidates to consummate job postings," he said.
