MyParichay, the leading social referral platform company for job seekers and recruiters announced the launch of Connected JobsT. The war between Facebook and LinkedIn for dominance in the professional networking space has resolved itself with the help of MyParichay.
Launched today, MyParichay's new Connected JobsT connects to both LinkedIn and Facebook; intelligently utilizing personal contacts in Facebook who are professionals and LinkedIn connections to give job seekers a complete overview of their professional reach through these two networks.
The job listings are pulled from all job boards and corporate career sites across the web in India. MyParichay takes job search to a new level as it finds relevant jobs that are available at companies where you have first and second level Facebook friends and LinkedIn connections currently working or have worked at in the past. Job Seekers can utilize their contacts in those networks to directly "Send a Resume" or use "Start a Conversation" feature to privately start exploring the job with a trusted insider.
For people who are not actively seeking a job, there are also "Job Alerts" that automatically deliver "Connected" job opportunities to the person's inbox along with the right connections. It's not unlike the "jobs you may be interested in" feature on LinkedIn, but again, MyParichay Job Alert includes Facebook opportunities as well.
