AfterCollege Now Tweets Entry-Level Jobs and Internships with TwitterJobSearch

AfterCollege has teamed up with TwitterJobSearch to syndicate its entry-level job opportunities and internships on Twitter. As part of the collaboration, AfterCollege will send select broad-appeal jobs from its network to TwitterJobSearch, which will convert the jobs to ìtweetsî, short text messages up to 140 characters to be broadcast on Twitter. AfterCollege jobs will also be indexed and searchable via the TwitterJobSearch search engine.

AfterCollege is known for targeting employment opportunities to specific niche audiences through its academic department and student group career networks. Twitter, on the other hand is one of the most highly trafficked social networks with over 20 million unique monthly visitors. The collaboration with TwitterJobSearch allows AfterCollege to offer employers broad social media reach for those job opportunities that require a broad scope of candidates. ìTwitterJobSearch has gained momentum as a top social recruiting medium in a short amount of time and we look forward to working with them in distributing our job opportunities via Twitter,î said Roberto Angulo, CEO of AfterCollege. In this competitive job market, employers are looking at more targeted means to find new employees and job seekers are stepping up their networking, said Bill Fischer, co-founder of TwitterJobSearch.
