Monster today announces European availability of an iPhone app for BeKnown™, Monster’s professional networking application for Facebook. Joining the recently announced Android widget, this latest mobile app for BeKnown allows users to establish and manage a professional network on Facebook, seperate from social contacts, via their iPhone while on the move.

Job seekers with other smartphone devices, including Blackberry and Windows Phone, can take advantage of the BeKnown mobile website without the need to use desktop or laptop computer.
Key functionality in the mobile versions of BeKnown includes the ability to:
- View user profiles
- Make new connections
- View network updates
- Exchange messages between connections
- Receive push notifications (iPhone app only)
- Search for Monster jobs
- Discover jobs posted by connections
BeKnown, and the mobile versions of the app, are part of a growing portfolio of services from Monster that help job seekers wherever they are, on their terms. They also allow recruiters to build networks to reach relevant talent, matching opportunities with the most relevant people. BeKnown brings professional networking to a mass market audience that includes medical, engineering, education, retail and many other occupations.
