FriendRecruit
Use Facebook and Twitter to Promote Your Employee Referral Program AND/OR Advertise All Your Jobs On Facebook

Everyone knows that employee referral programs are a company's best performing recruitment tool. However they come with limitations, most notably that they're in-house programs rarely seen (or performing) outside the company. Now, though, that hurdle has been crossed with an ingenious little application called FriendRecruit–software that allows you to use your employees' existing network on Facebook/Twitter to promote your jobs.

FriendRecruit is a Facebook/Twitter application that feeds your jobs onto your company's employees' profiles. Friends of that employee, or friends of friends, can actually apply and send their resume to jobs directly on Facebook. You can then give a bonus to the employee for a hire that comes through their profile, giving employees an incentive to install the Facebook application. Everything can be tracked from FriendRecruit's dashboard, or recruiters can opt to have the resumes dumped directly into their ATS.

Additionally, FriendRecruit can be used as an application that pushes your jobs from your ATS to your company's Facebook fan page.

FriendRecruit is a surprisingly affordable solution. Companies pay a one time installation/development fee for a customized application made to work with their current ATS or resume system with a minimal monthly charge for maintenance and updates. Cost is much less than subscriptions to major job boards and once installed will allow your company to take advantage of word-of-mouth advertising through the burgeoning social media networks.
