"Three years after removing its job listings feature, Facebook is bringing it back to users in the U.S., focusing on helping people find local jobs in entry-level, trade, and service sectors. Job listings, available to all users 18 years and older, can be found in a tab within the Marketplace section as well as in Groups and Pages. Users can filter and sort jobs by category, distance, and job type."
"Meta didn't explain why it chose to bring back job listings now. However, it seems like it's trying to go back to its roots and expand its purpose beyond just social networking. Back in January, Meta's CEO Mark Zuckerberg mentioned wanting to see a "return to OG Facebook" as one of his big goals this year during the Q4 earnings call."
Facebook reintroduced job listings for U.S. users, targeting local entry-level, trade, and service roles. Listings are accessible to all users 18 and older in a Marketplace tab and within Groups and Pages. Users can filter and sort positions by category, distance, and job type, and receive tailored recommendations based on job browsing history. Applicants can submit applications and communicate with employers via Messenger to arrange interviews. The feature originally launched in 2017, expanded to over 40 countries, then was limited to the U.S. and Canada in 2022 and discontinued in 2023. Meta did not explain the timing. The relaunch aims to appeal to younger jobseekers and offer an alternative to LinkedIn while leveraging Facebook's larger user base.
