Top 55 Most Popular Facebook Pages for Job Search in 2011
On to the list…
|
1. |
 |
 Jobs in Indonesia – 179,168 fans, English/Indonesian – official page of the large jobindo.com job board in Indonesia, it's just a lot of job listings. There's only a little bit of English used in the job descriptions here but this page was too popular not to include in the list. |
|
2. |
 |
 CareerBuilder – 90,527 fans – the main Facebook page for CareerBuilder (CB), this corporate page is mainly used to publicize articles from their (good) The Work Buzz blog and to announce CB-sponsored and CB-hosted events. Funny- under their Boxes tab, CB claims to have the “largest job search employment & careers page”. Oops. |
|
3. |
 |
Ernst & Young Careers – 41,341 fans – official page for Ernst & Young, there's a lot of information about the company for targeting purposes. Not much of an attempt to build a community, as the few moderator responses mostly just point people to their website's job listings. |
|
4. |
 |
Petroleum and Petrochemical Jobs – 32,663 fans – job listings in Indonesia for the oil & gas industry. |
|
5. |
 |
CareerBuilder Healthcare Jobs – 28,861 fans – Unlike the main CareerBuilder page above, this one seems to have been created with the idea ‘if you build it, they will come' but aside from links to its sites and a few job postings on the Wall, most of the (high) activity is from other people posting healthcare job listings. The only fan page whose fan numbers went DOWN while this list was being compiled. |
|
6. |
 |
Verizon Wireless Careers – 21,115 fans – not too many job listings on this recruitment page for Verizon, but the Wall does have many people asking questions about their jobs and getting responses from the company recruiters. Very much aimed at college grads and grads-to-be, there's a lot of content here. Verizon's doing a great job with their page to announce events and just build their employment brand well. |
|
7. |
 |
 Jobs au Maroc – 17,913 fans, French only – job listings in Morocco. |
|
8. |
 |
Career Network – 15,723 fans – official page of the Career Network job boards, the Wall mostly lists job search news while getting a lot of reaction from community members. A good place to discuss job search. |
|
9. |
 |
CareerBuilder Finance Jobs – 14,908 fans – another shell of a Facebook page from CareerBuilder, this page was created with the same disappointing formula as the CareerBuilder Healthcare Jobs above, albeit while containing finance-related jobs in this case. |
|
10. |
 |
 Ernst & Young Careers – Australia – 13,376 fans – this official page is a great place to connect with recruiters at Ernst & Young Australia, who do a good job responding to queries. |

|
13. |

Microsoft Careers – 11,890 fans – this very well-planned page is where Microsoft recruiters reach out to everyone on Facebook. The Wall is mostly people asking questions and getting responses directly from Microsoft- cool, but the many other tabs are all actively used too. |

An up ‘n’ comer is Jobs in the USA: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Jobs-in-USA/328405905489
Nice comprehensive list but I think LinkedIn is much more better for jobs than facebook?? Because it has a complete profile, but yeah when you want to hire someone for his social skills then nothing can beat facebook??

I agree, Sam. In general, LinkedIn is better for job search than Facebook, but that doesn’t mean you should ignore Facebook entirely. This list is proof that Facebook has some good destinations for job seekers too.

Great post.
From my experience, LinkedIn and Tanglo (Yahoo groups) are good resources in Israel for job searching.
