Facebook and Twitter have become much more than sites where people interact socially. They have become true professional resources, with companies listing openings there and freelancers advertising what they can do.
And this startup is here to maximize such a fact.
Jibe is a platform that will look at all the professional data that you have on these sites and on LinkedIn, and use it to create a profile that will tell you if any person who is in your contacts is actually working at any company your are interested in joining. If that happens to be the case, you can ask that person to introduce and recommend you straightaway.
Note that in order to apply for a job you must have a certain number of credits to spend first. These are amassed in more ways than one – by updating your profile and linking it to your social accounts, by sending messages to other members of the site… any kind of interaction here is rewarded with credits. And if you need them in a hurry, you can also buy them. So, applying for a job that you saw and liked shouldn’t be a problem to begin with.
