Facebook Restores Local Jobs in U.S. With Marketplace Listings

The reboot targets community hiring for entry-level, trade and service roles with stricter policies following the program’s 2023 closure.

Overview

  • The feature is live in the United States, where adults 18 and older can find and apply to jobs in a dedicated Jobs tab within Marketplace, with posts also surfacing in relevant Groups and Pages.
  • Employers can create listings through Marketplace, their Facebook Page, or Meta Business Suite, and applicants can contact them directly via Messenger.
  • Job seekers can filter results by category, distance and job type and receive personalized recommendations based on their browsing activity.
  • Meta’s guidelines exclude certain categories, including adult services, drug-related work and in-person childcare roles.
  • The tool is governed by a discrimination policy intended to prevent exclusionary targeting seen in prior job ads, and Meta indicates potential expansion beyond the U.S. in the future.
