Job application plug-in From LinkedIn

LinkedIn has launched a new feature that gives job seekers another way to apply for a position.

The new “Apply with LinkedIn” plug-in can be added to company Web sites and allows job applicants to share their LinkedIn profiles to apply for a position. Upon clicking the button on an employer’s site, applicants can edit their profile before submitting it. To save applicants time, the plug-in culls data from the user’s profile and automatically populates the company’s online employment application with that information.
Now any company can embed the plug-in by adding an eight-line code snippet to its corporate website, LinkedIn said. More than a thousand companies are participating in the plug-in’s launch by including the Apply with LinkedIn button on their job pages, including Netflix, TripIt and Photobucket. LinkedIn’s new feature is available now. Employers who are interested in signing up for the service can download the free plug-in here.
