What is BeKnown ?

BeKnown, from Monster, takes features

of LinkedIn and BranchOut, and yet is goes a

little beyond the latter and is more versatile and

flexible than Linked in.

There 600 million-plus users are not in LinkedIn

Monster would be targeting them hence not really

a alternative to Linkedin

What is BeKnown ?

Visually it looks a lot like Facebook and by installing the app on FB

it actually gives you a second profile and this can be imported

either from Linkedin or Monster. And you can have pictures and

the usual Facebook content and it can be a different persona of the

actually profile that you have created on FB. It helps you handle

your social and professional persona in the same place.

HENCE IT WILL BE VERY ATTRACTIVE TO THE YOUNGER

AUDIENCE ... UNLIKE THE STIFF UPPER LIP LINKEDIN

THAT IS BENDING BACKWARDS TO BE WHACKY

Recruitments are moving towards the social media way.

You better be there

Monster shows the way

LESSON FOR FFI

More on BeKnown

You can have your friends/contacts to endorse you.

There you get some brownies in the process. You will be

rewarded with badges (like foursquare) based on how

long you have been working with the same employer

etc..

Apart from you general endorsements BeKnown enables

skills-specific acknowledgments too.. This is a cool

feature/.

BeKnown for Recruiters Recruiters can create their own BeKnown profiles, they can

also have their company pages after building their

networks, and they can post jobs there... Free ofcourse

This apparently is a Beta release how the professional

conversations are going to happen one has to watch and see .

It is, in all likelihood, poised to become one of the prime social

recruiting networks for sure

The appeal is more for the young career-oriented

users, with limited experience

Altimeter Group’s Charlene Li shares. “If I’m looking

for an entry-level researcher or intern I won’t find them

on LinkedIn,” the Financial Times quotes her as saying.

“When you’re coming out of college, you don’t have a

professional network, you have Facebook.”
