Employers will now be able to offer potential new employees the chance to put themselves forward for a job by clicking the 'apply with LinkedIn' button - after a new feature was introduced by the social networking site.
Thw esbite claims that this feature could attract increased interest in advertised roles for employers, as potential applicants will no longer be disencouraged if they have not recently updated their CV.
Updating a CV properly can often be a lengthy process, so anything that encourages more people to apply for a job is bound to be seen as a good thing by both employers and job hunters - but there could also be a chance that employers will be met with an influx of applicant who haven't properly considered themselves for the role.
However, it does offer a cheap and quick way to encourage more applicants, so small to medium sized business owners are likely to find it useful when used properly.
