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.

"Our Vision is to eliminate the need to Apply for a job and get your resume lost in a pile on a web or job site. MyParichayT is committed to make job search better, easier reliable process for young professionals by utilizing the power and trust of their social network to develop fulfilling careers," said Ranjan Sinha, Co-founder and Chairman of MyParichayT.

A recent study by Shine.com/ HT Media showed 9 out of 10 of the job seekers on the internet in India are on Facebook and based on a Carnegie Mellon Study [2] Facebook friends are 5 times more likely to help you find a job than LinkedIn connection. 

What is also interesting is that the number of companies who are establishing their presence on Facebook Pages have shot up by 100% since last year.
