HireRabbit is a Bangalore-based startup that helps companies build recruitment pages on Facebook. Using HireRabbit, users can easily build a Facebook tab on their corporate Facebook pages for easy searches, shares, and applications.

Now some of you guys might be wondering if recruiting on Facebook is effective. HireRabbit is going all out to convince you with a gorgeous looking infographic (see below). According to HireRabbit, 84 percent of job seekers have a Facebook profile and 16 percent of all job seekers received a job referral from a Facebook friend. The infographic also provides some tips on how to be successful in recruiting via Facebook.

HireRabbit is founded by Prafull Sharma and Pipalayan Nayak, who both have background in SaaS and recruitment. Sharma told me:

Social media has changed how people consume information. We believe that social media is going to transform the way companies go about attracting and hiring talent.

Facebook and Twitter, with over 1-billion potential candidates and candidate’s friend network as potential referrals, is a goldmine of untapped recruiting opportunities. With Hirerabbit we want to help companies realize the potential of social media.

Founded just eight months ago, HireRabbit is now in private beta and claims to have over 100 companies from the U.S., Europe, and Asia signed up for its beta run. It was also recently selected for a Microsoft Accelerator program in India. The startup plans to follow a ‘Pay-as-you-go’ model but didn’t hasn’t revealed many details on that.
