Following a 41 percent reduction in its work force last month, Jobster has turned about face by inking a deal to become the exclusive job search provider for Facebook. According to the Wall Street Journal, Jobster will unveil new features that will allow employers to post jobs for free to the site and for job hunters to attach video clips to their online profiles. Jobster’s switch to free job postings is an attempt “to make a large dent in Monster’s billion dollar a year revenue stream” opines TechCrunch.
Jobster is the first career development website to make extensive use of Web 2.0 technologies to help individuals connect with people, information and opportunities to help them further their careers. In an industry first, the new Jobster offers employers unlimited free personalized job postings, enabling jobseekers to meet the hiring manager or recruiter for a particular position, and immediately presents employers with potential matching candidates.
