work4labs logoWork4 Labs, a leader in Facebook recruiting technology, announced Wednesday it expanded its suite of social recruiting products. The company built a roster of 17,000 customers during its early phase, including Anheuser Busch, Ben and Jerry’s, Kate Spade, VMWare and UPS. Due to its successful enterprise offering and the demand for Facebook recruiting tools from smaller companies, Work4 Labs plans to release a free version of its no. 1 Facebook recruiting application, Work For Us. The free-version targets small-to-midsize businesses (SMBs).

“Hiring is an inherently social activity, and today the majority of people conduct their lives through social networks,” said Stephane Le Viet, CEO of Work4 Labs. “Our goal is to help companies find and hire the most qualified candidates in the places where these candidates spend the most time, particularly on Facebook.  Our technology makes it easy and cost-effective to take advantage of social media to find the right hires, regardless of the company’s size or the candidate’s experience level.”

The free version if its Work For Us tool will give SMBs access to Work4 Labs’ all-in-one social recruiting solution, which will allow those firms to take advantage of the world’s largest pool of potential candidates.

Similar to the original version, the new product allows SMBs to easily:

  • Launch branded corporate career sites on Facebook and post an unlimited number of jobs to the site
  • Find and engage qualified applicants by using the sophisticated targeting features of the Facebook advertising system
  •  Generate referrals from their employees by automatically matching open jobs with the profiles of their employees’ Facebook friends on a strictly opt-in basis where the employees alone decide to forward the matching job listings
  • Utilize powerful applicant tracking and analytics features, making it a comprehensive recruiting solution for growing businesses

To accelerate business on all fronts, Work4 Labs also revealed that Matrix Partners and a group of select industry experts gave the company $11 million in Series A funding.
