# Easy Employment Apps Searching for Work is Easier with LinkedIn's New Embeddable Job Applications By Omar Yusuf | Published 2011-07-26 | Social Media Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/embeddable-job-applications References: [techcrunch](http://techcrunch.com/2011/07/25/linkedin-debuts-embeddable-job-application-tool-for-companies/) & [linkedin](http://www.linkedin.com/) The way in which employers and employees interact is about to be permanently changed by [LinkedIn's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/simplify-job-search) new embeddable job applications, a web tool that makes applying for work as simple as sending a friend request. This past April, LinkedIn rolled out a series of web applications aimed at simplifying the process of job hunting. Today, the professional social network hopes to complete their vision by including embeddable job applications on company websites. Say, for example, you read a press release from Intel; at the bottom of the webpage, you'll likely see a LinkedIn "apply here" button right next to the Reddit, [Facebook](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/linkedin-short-video) and [Twitter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/linkedin-1) icons. That button will automatically send your LinkedIn résumé to Intel's recruitment server -- easy as pie! Best of all, the embeddable job apps are easily customizable and only requires a small morsel of code. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.4/10 - Popularity: 32% | Activity: 63% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Social Media](https://www.trendhunter.com/socialmedia) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Web-based Job Applications:** LinkedIn's new embeddable job applications are disrupting traditional job application methods and simplifying the hiring process. - **Social Media Integration:** The integration of LinkedIn's job application tool on company websites encourages social media usage for job hunting, disrupting traditional methods. - **Customizable Application Tools:** The customizable and easy-to-use nature of LinkedIn's embeddable job application tool opens doors for companies to create unique job application experiences. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Recruitment:** LinkedIn's job application tool is revolutionizing the recruitment industry by providing companies with a simplified method of collecting resumes. - **Social Media:** Social media platforms, particularly LinkedIn, are more integrated into the job application process, creating new opportunities for the industry. - **Web Development:** Web developers have the opportunity to innovate and create unique job application tools that offer a personalized approach to hiring. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [AI-Enhanced Job Searching Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/simplify-job-search.md) - [Career Platform AI Features](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aipowered-enhancements.md) - [AI Hiring Assistants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/linkedin-hiring-assistant.md) - [Job Hunting AI Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jobbuddy.md) - [Automated Job-Finding Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/loopcv-platform.md) - [Job Application Automation](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/autojobs1.md) - [Streamlined Job Application Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flash-apply.md) - [AI-Assisted Job Hunting Features](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/linkedin-job-collections.md) - [Automated Job Applicant Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/superapplicant-platform.md)
