Recruitment and the Viadeo Graph API
Home page
Give your users a personalised experience from the moment they arrive on your site. Allow them to sign in with their Viadeo details on your homepage and the rest of the site experience can be tailored to their professional profile with the extra bonus of adding social relevance i.e. how your content relates to their professional experience and network of contacts.
Increase relevance
Pre-populate your search fields with a user’s current job title and location, recommend searches or jobs ads based upon their previous work experience, education or interests; this makes your content more meaningful and relevant to the user increasing value and ultimately engagement with the site.
Make the job search social
Enable your users to access the power of their professional network to help them get a job on your site. On your home page show jobs that are being advertised at companies where the user has contacts. On the job ads themselves show contacts who work at the company or in the same industry. This extra functionality will help your users to get the inside track on their next professional breakthrough.
Applications made easy
Simplify your job application process by pre-populating basic information on the application form including contact details, professional experience and education history. The user can then edit and add extra information as applicable. This creates a smooth and efficient application process which saves the user time and reduces the tedium of form completion.
