Facebook Becomes Job Search Engine




SimplyHired, a job search aggregation site, announced that it's just released new features allowing integration with user Facebook friends. How does this help job seekers?

Hello. I went to the SimplyHired site and see no interface with LinkedIn allowing Linkedin users the ability to overlay network contacts on top of job ads. How does one initiate this functionality?

Eric,

There are a number of different ways to integrate SimplyHired and Linkedin.

The overlay ability is through Linkedin's browser toolbar, found under tools at the bottom of your Linkedin home page (or at http://www.linkedin.com/static?key=tools&trk=hb_ft_tools).

You also can connect your Linkedin account to SimplyHired by clicking settings. Once logged in to Linkedin through SimplyHired, your contacts will display in a box to the right of SimplyHired ads.
