Simply Hired, the largest job search engine today launched the first personalised job search experience by integrating with Facebook. Job seekers can now utilise their Facebook profile and friends on SimplyHired.com.au to access customised job content to land a job. Using this new capability, users who login with Facebook are able to discover jobs based on their current or previous work titles, location, interests and their friends' companies on SimplyHired.com.au. From the search results page, job seekers will be able to browse friends' companies and search for job openings. This changes job search from a passive to an active process by suggesting relevant jobs and helping users tap into insider knowledge about a job from their friends. Beta testing of this feature has already doubled user engagement on SimplyHired.com, the US version of the site, for users who opt-in. This release includes additional features that allow users to see a company directory listing where all their friends work and jobs at companies they like. Users can also see companies where they have the highest number of friends and other relevant job-related information. These features are available in the United States, United Kingdom, Australia, Canada and India. "Simply Hired is showing what's possible when you make it easy to find jobs through friends," said Ethan Beard, director of Facebook Developer Network. "Personal relationships and professional networking have always been the best ways to find a new job. By integrating with Facebook, Simply Hired is bringing this to life online and helping users tap into their social connections to personalise the job search process." Australians are the world's most prolific users of social media, according to Nielsen research. Three quarters of Australian Internet users have visited Facebook and 59 percent have a Facebook profile; the average time spent on Facebook in a given month is 8:19 hours. In December 2009, Australians accounted for 8.2 million of Facebook's 206.9 million visitors that month. "Personalisation is the next generation of job search," said Simply Hired CEO Gautam Godhwani. "Today, Simply Hired takes another significant step toward making job search simple by combining the largest social graph with the largest job database. Finally, your friends can help you find a job online."
