The company says BeKnown brings professional networking to a mass market audience that includes medical, engineering, education, retail and many other occupations.
A Monster-developed Social Referral Program (SRP) encourages BeKnown users to pass along specific jobs through their BeKnown network. It amplifies a company’s employee referral network and extends reach to passive candidates. Currently in beta, the referral program will be rolled out to select Monster customers.
The announcement was made today, June 27.
