What this question tests

Tests product design for the job-seeker side specifically within an existing social platform, focusing on discovery and application experience.

How to approach it

  1. Clarify the user: someone actively or passively job hunting who is already a regular Facebook user, likely for local or small-business roles rather than corporate search.
  2. Identify pain points: job seekers don't know which local Pages or Groups are hiring, and applying elsewhere via email or a third-party form is high friction from a mobile app.
  3. Identify the core job: surface relevant, nearby job openings passively, without active searching, and let the user apply directly within Facebook.
  4. Propose a Jobs for you surface fed by local Business Page postings and relevant Group activity, filtered by commute distance and job type, with one-tap apply.
  5. Address relevance: use signals like the user's Group memberships to infer likely job interest without requiring an explicit job-search opt-in.
  6. Define success: application completion rate, and time from a posting going live to the first qualified application.
