Job seekers in the Dominican Republic can now reap benefits from the Facebook job application feature to search and apply for openings at local businesses. Facebook’s 1.86 billion user count opens doors to hundreds of thousands of Dominicans that are looking for jobs.
On Wednesday, 28 February 2018, Facebook expanded the job search and application tool it had released almost a year ago in the United States and Canada to another 40 countries, included the Dominican Republic.
Facebook is making it easier for businesses to get their listings online by letting them post openings through the Facebook app. Once the company has posted a job, managers can sift through applicants and directly reach out through Messenger. Job seekers can also subscribe to a company’s listings.
The application is similar to LinkedIn, but applied to the person’s Facebook network. It helps lower-skilled workers and people who aren’t actively looking for a job to find that dream job. Facebook users can look for and apply to jobs directly on the mobile app and on the web. Businesses with Facebook Pages can create new job posts, see applications, and schedule interviews.
