      Administrators and recruiters use the Facebook Jobs Application to embed Sourcing within your Facebook fan page, allowing Facebook users to quickly search, share and apply to your jobs.

      Access the Facebook Jobs application by signing into Sourcing from the Portal page, using the Sign in with Facebook feature. As the administrator or recruiter, use the module to:

      • Install the application on your Facebook page.

      • Validate the installation.

      • Open the installed application.

      • Change the Facebook page's Jobs Application icon.

      • Configure the default filter for the installed application.

      Installing the application broadens the reach of your referral program, and allows users to share your jobs with their Facebook friends.
