Tweet This Job!

Introducing the Tweet This Job Button.      

 Using the same basic concept popularized by the ReTweet buttons now used by almost every major publisher and blog, the Tweet This Job button is designed to easily share job offers via Twitter.

By placing the Tweet This Job button on your job board, recruitment consultancy or company career site, you can
use Twitter as a free distribution channel by utilizing the network of jobseekers you already have engaged.

  • Provides a Small Button that can be easily added to each job spec,
  • Creates a customizable Tweet utilizing best-practices for job Tweets, 
  • Builds a tiny URL that links directly to the job, 
  • Uses Twitter OAuth - to securely and quickly facilitate Tweeting

Tweet this Job not only makes it easy for employees and fellow job seekers to share a job offer with their friends/colleagues but it also demonstrates how common Twitter tools are being repackaged for industry specific usages. This button can put your jobs in front of millions of Twitter users, help them to be indexed to major search engines and all it requires copying and pasting a simple bit of code, found here.

Skype Me: TwitJobSearch integrates video interviewing with Skype

With over 400 million individuals engaging with social media and over 500 million Skype users, TwitJobSearch has just introduced a product that facilitates the linking of Skype IDs to Twitter accounts and then allows them to be attached to job offers in Twitter.  


Nearly 1 million unique job opportunities have been posted to Twitter in the last 30 days.  This makes Twitter the largest job board in the world.  TwitJobSearch uses semantic search technology to filter and index these job offers.  The new feature allows job seekers to quickly find a job that suits them, attach their Twitter/Skype IDs to the job and to send a tweet to the recruiter notifying them that they've applied.  The recruiter then simply clicks on the candidates Skype ID and can instantly be conducting a video interview.  A job offer can be tweeted and a video interview commenced in under a minute.  That could make TwitJobSearch the "world's fastest job search."

After adding their Skype ID to their TwitJobSearch profile, a job seeker merely clicks on the Skype logo attached to each job tweet, as seen here:
then clicks to accept:

and that's it.

"What we are seeing is the $100 billion recruitment industry moving to the cloud," said Matt Alder, CEO of MetaShift, a strategic business consultancy. "The integration of VOIP, search, and social media technology can re-engineer a business process that most HR professionals believe is broken."


TwitJobSearch CEO, Howard Lee, notes that the job search process can be very expensive and time consuming for the job seeker.  "We are always looking at how to improve the job hunt experience.  We believe that social media and technology, like video interviews, is disruptive to the recruitment industry but will absolutely improve the job candidate experience."

The 140 character limit imposed by Twitter has helped to make it popular but, more and more companies are building functionality to allow for more in-depth conversations.  "From the facilitating of video calls to establishing a 'cloud phone number', we're actively seeking ways to integrate Skype technology and using it to extend the power of social media, " says Bill Fischer, Co-Founder TwitJobSearch.  "For international recruitment efforts or even for the emergent mobile recruitment channel, we see the potential for lots of innovative uses of Skype being incorporated into new business processes."

Check out a video from the TJS test labs demonstrating the whole process from tweeting a job, to conducting the interview over Skype.

Social Search just got a whole lot Smarter

The team here at TwitJobSearch.com are always developing new, smarter, technologies to make finding your next job even easier. Today marks the launch of some really great new features at Buzzzy.com, soon to be applied to TwitJobSearch.com.

We already created the first 3rd party search engine for Google Buzz, Buzzzy.com, the first search API for Google Buzz and we were the only search engine to collaborate with Google on the launch of their Google Buzz buttons.

Data found in services like Twitter, Facebook, and Google Buzz, tends to be unstructured and limited. Buzzzy uses semantic processing to add meta-data to items in activity streams. This allows it to offer faceted search capabilities; such as filtering results by geo-location. 

 

We believe that semantic processing is the best way to make sense of, and to index, the social web. "Search engines are struggling to develop the right relevancy protocols for activity streams," said Buzzzy’s CEO Howard Lee. "With our ChatterMining techniques, we can index not just the key words in these streams but evaluate the context and add metadata to make search results actionable and not just interesting."

Buzzzy now includes:

  • Enhanced Semantic Relevance
    Looking at the words in the activity stream and metadata in context to help improve relevancy algorithms
  • Adding Geo-Location and Profile data to Filters
    Buzzzy adds metadata to social "updates" to enhance the filtering and indexing of them
  • Intention Mining
    Buzzzy uses semantic analysis to help determine the intent of the social update.  Most evident in the classified offers index, e.g. "Classifieds" tab
  • Multi-Language Indexing and Translation Tools
    Buzzzy uses native language recognition to translate from any language, and to any language.
  • Real-Time Results
    You may now choose to view your Buzzzy results in Real-Time, instead of relevancy.  These results also offered in product API
  • Special SERPs for RichMedia and Classified Offers
    Product changes layout and faceted search capabilities for different types of activity streams
"Google's created a great development environment and their open standards approach to activity streams are a real asset to social media.," said Howard Lee, CEO of WorkDigital."  The Google Buzz and PubSubHubBub protocols helps us to realize our mission to build powerful semantic search tools for social media."

Buzzzy.com collaborates with Google

WorkDigital, developer of Buzzzy.com, collaborates with Google to implement New Google Buzz button

With over 400 million individuals globally engaging with online social media products, social media is re-shaping how we use the web.  As a semantic search technology company, WorkDigital has been partnering with the companies leading the charge.  We have built products with TweetDeck, LinkedIn, the Twitter API and now is working with Google Buzz.

WorkDigital, in its efforts to build the future of social media search, built the first 3rd party search engine for Google Buzz, Buzzzy.com. It is now pleased to be collaborating with Google and using the Buzz API to implement the Google Buzz buttons that facilitate sharing of Buzz posts. This implementation can be found in search results at Buzzzy.com.

                                                                   

"We are absolutely thrilled to be working with leading social media products like Google Buzz," said Howard Lee, CEO of WorkDigital. "They've created a great development environment and their open standards approach to activity streams are a real asset to social media.  The Google Buzz product helps us to realize our mission to build powerful semantic search tools for social media and the new Buzz button greatly facilitates sharing and is a feature our users have asked for."

Jobs aren't appearing on TwitJobSearch?

Having trouble getting your jobs to appear on TwitJobSearch? Here are some quick tips to increase the likelihood that our search engine will find your jobs:

1. Full Job Title: Ensure your tweet has a full job title (ex. use 'manager' and not 'mgr').

2. No ReTweets: Avoid using the letters 'RT', as we assume you are retweeting a job and that your job is a duplicate.

3. HashTags? We don't care!: Feel free to include hashtags if you'd like, we do not include or exclude jobs based on hashtags.

4. Include a Link / URL: Include a valid link to the full job description.

5. Can Twitter Find You?: Verify that your account is being picked up by twitter. Go to Twitter Search and type "from:username" into the search box, but replace 'username' with your username. If your tweets do not appear here, then they will not appear on TJS and you should contact Twitter help.

If you've done all this and your tweets are still not being picked up by our search engine, there are alternatives:

 - Post your jobs via the TJS Post a Job form. Your jobs will automatically be indexed to TJS and tweeted via your twitter account. (tip: if you do not have a link for your job, this option is ideal as it lets you add a job description and method to apply)

 - Have us tweet your jobs for you. By either providing us with an XML feed or allowing us to scrape your site, we can tweet your jobs via your twitter account on your behalf. (tip: this method is great for people with lots of jobs) Click here to view the feed specifications or to submit your feed.

 

If you are interested in learning more about our paid advertising options, including the XML feed, please contact Sam Lau at +44 (0)20 7316 9713 or by e-mail at Samuel.Lau(at)incisivemedia.com
