How do I create my own job channels?

Posting your Jobs to Social Networks, Blogs, Microblogs  and Niche Networks

Googlyfish Job Networking portal was created for the sole purpose of making it as easy as possible to share your jobs with the world. Now you don't have to fumble around the web in order to post your jobs anymore, you can just post your jobs on the Googlyfish Job Board,  and we will simultaneously distribute  links to your jobs to all your desired channels and many more..

Technology

There are many web 2.0 technologies on the market at the moment, but after extensive research we decided to integrate the Ping.FM API into our website, so now you can post your jobs seamlessly to all your favourite networks, Twitter, Facebook, Linkedin, MySpace and many more.  You will be able to set up your own personal branded networks that your prospective candidates will be able to follow and tell their friends about which in turn will create referrals and reduce your costs to hire.

Setting up your Networks

Most social networks use a standard authentication process, usual requirements are a user name/ email address and password to join the network, Twitter for instance requires a user name and a password and then your user name will form the suffix partof your Twitter domain name ie www.twitter.com/yourcompanyname. Look at www.twitter.com/googlyfish, www.facebook.com/googlyfish and www.myspace.com/googlyfishjobs as further examples. Once you have created your network be sure to add your corporate message and logos to your profile.
