Standout Jobs Adds Additional Career Site Functionality

Standout Jobs is a Canadian company that launched a year ago and their service allows companies to create recruitment portals to help publicize their openings along with offering a better process for applicants.

Today the company has announced a number of new pieces of functionality to the Standout Jobs offering. The first update allows companies to setup chats with interested parties. The chat functionality comes from TinyChat and can be thought of as a simple way to setup an online career fair.

On the job listings side, they have added the ability to feature a Twitter account on the page. This gives potential applicants a chance to see what the company is up to.

There is also a new option for an expanded bio page (they call it a "people widget"). The bio page can include links to all of the social services a person is a member of – see a screenshot below.
