The industry continues to see efforts being made towards using social media and social networking to get candidates and jobs. As a part of the same effort, popular extension of Twitter, TweetDeck has launched a new site that directly is meant for recruiting industry—Job Deck. Previously Job deck existed as a separate entity, and recruiters and candidates had to search for the tweets that are targeted at recruiting. An increased demand for having a separate solution–JobDeck seems to be the right response.

Essentially, JobDeck:

Scours twitter and indexes all the tweets that are job opportunities

Provides an interface that can filter out relevant jobs for the candidates (filters out noise)

Still connects to other social media sites and makes cross connection easier.

As a recent announcement few days ago by the tweet deck team, you can now integrate your LinkedIn account to the TweetDeck, which means a direct access to millions of profiles that exist on LinkedIn. The job search has built in geo-location feature that allows you to target jobs that are available right next door (well that is lazy; we don’t want our candidates to have that!!J)

Apart from the candidates, this is now an opportunity for people working in staffing industry to leverage this tool and narrow down their list of candidates. As a result, we don’t need to go through each and every site and search for our requirements.

Happy hunting.
