Facebook recently announced the availability of applying for jobs via the platform. This is a good news for users but, other users rejected.
A forum in MacRumors showed almost 90% rejection rate of Facebook users to the new FB app. A few days ago, the most popular social media platform, Facebook announced the availability for job hunt and application. It is by opening a job post listings on their page from US and Canadian businesses. The platform seeks potential hires and easily browsing for jobs via the new "Jobs" bookmark.
Furthermore, after the employers post a job post a position for a job opening, they can easily contact the respective applicants via the Facebook Messenger app. App Advice also reported that in just as easy as one click on the "Apply Now" button, applicants will be queued on the hiring process. Eventually, the new app is designed only for iPhone, all iPad models, and iPod touch and is free on Appstore.
Additionally, the main concern of this new app is to help small business owners. Facebook wants to give those owners time to look and hire for talented individuals in the easiest way. The app has been tested in the U.S. for its effectivity.
However, though the new Facebook app earns recognition on its testing, there are still some who are not convinced on the app. The MacRumors forum received negative opinions on the new Facebook job application app. According to the users, Facebook should not allow job application on their platform, because FB is a way to show every detail of life. More so, job application should be listed in the private part of everyone's life and must not be used publicly just like in the platform.
Besides, Facebook users will lose their "happy-go-lucky" posts for they will always want to have good impressions. "No way, FB is trying is intrude all aspects of my life. I will resist this just very another aspect," a user commented on the forum. Another user commented, "Facebook can trace posts, and now this will make it easier for employers to view your account and what you post and can be a determining factor." Meanwhile, those who agree on the idea suggested having other Facebook accounts dividing the public and private lives.
