All your embarrassing photos should now be posted on LinkedIn.

@bentossell @nivo0o0 The statistics are actually pretty high, I believe as many as 70% of recruiters rejected a candidate based on social media
Emmanuel Lemor
@bentossell @gabriel__lewis @nivo0o0 Not necessarily... the reality is that for MOST people [i.e. read that to mean 95%+] are NOT putting up a 'real' version of themselves and most Recruiters are aware of that... Recruiters will get more a sense of political views, a person's reaction to current events etc than anything else... do I think that's an issue - for me no, but it could be for some... If you think that's a problem, check out what Facebook can figure out about you in a few hours/days with Data Selfie [https://www.producthunt.com/post...]... now that's really scary.

@nivo0o0 It is nice that Facebook is exploring new things but they should stick to what they are known for. Unfortunately the professional world is not their forte in terms of having valuable content in that matter in my opinion.

LinkedIn is way too pricey, and seems to only have one expensive model. They could use a healthy dose of competition.

@sean_murphy what 3 in mails isn't enough for your $29 a month subscription ?!?
Ben Bowden
@gabriel__lewis @sean_murphy Every couple of months I get emailed to try their premium service again so I get those precious 3 in-mails for free and then cancel it as quick as I can to avoid the $10 per in-mail charge :)
David Mermelstein
@sean_murphy There is competition. There are 1000's of jobboards.

Another attempt at Facebook to court professionals. I just don't see it happening, especially now that we're all politically polarized. What are the chances that your potential employer will agree with all your political likes and shares?

This will be interesting to watch. Great hunt Dimitar.

@imdaeshawn Thanks man, the jobs market game is going hot in 2017! :) The thing is FB is targeting way wider audience than Linkedin. From store owners to t-shirt shops to startups, all is possible as they have way wider reach than anyone else!

Just what I have been wanting, employers looking back through my private facebook feed.

@idmtr I don't think this is initially a comparison against LinkedIn. Instead, it sounds much more like a "Freelance" / "Service industry job" application opportunity... Closer to Indeed and Monster. What I imagine this will be great for is small biz who don't want to use LinkedIn to attract entry level employees...

@cancom10 FB can work for everything, but especially for small biz owners yes. +the platform is way more liked/usabe design wise than LinkedIn, who are trying to break into the freelance gigs with their ProFinder product: https://www.linkedin.com/profinder
Can Comertoglu
@idmtr Ah yes, I was not aware of ProFinder! These two are head on competing.

Facebook is just chipping away at Craigslist.
Nikola Stojic
Honestly, I'm skeptic about this. There needs to be difference from what's private and what's business. Companies can easily form blacklists and share them with each other with or without malicious intent. Personally I think that person needs to have its personal profile separated from professional. Freedom of thought and expression needs to stay free.

Facebook is rolling out the new jobs feature to challenge Linkedin in the job ads market. Now Facebook page owners can submit job ads and people can apply directly through the platform.
Peyton Hayslette
Between LinkedIn, Indeed and now Facebook (among many others), I wouldn't hate to see a single source of truth for all resume / career related information.
