At a time when job hunting competition is becoming increasingly fierce, fresh graduates have begun to find another way, turning social apps such as Soul, Qingteng Love, Tantan, etc. into a new battlefield for job hunting. These young people look for job opportunities in the gap between falling in love and falling in love through different methods such as “taking the initiative”, “coming naturally”, and “willing to take the bait”. However, although this emerging way of job search is full of creativity, it also comes with many uncertainties: Is the job information true and reliable? Will you be in an embarrassing situation after joining the company? Are there any pitfalls in the recruitment process? This article will delve into the causes, opportunities, and challenges behind this phenomenon.
On a social app with a relaxed atmosphere, if someone suddenly sends a resume, don’t panic, the other party may not be engaging in abstraction or pranking, but is really looking for a job.
Nowadays, social software such as Soul App, Qingveng Love, and Tantan are being played as recruitment software by some people, and the disciples of the “Active Attack Sect”, “Water Comes Naturally” and “Willing Bait Sect” have started a skill competition in order to get a job of their choice.
Why do young people who want to find a job focus on social apps? This seems to be because, compared with many recruitment software, social apps have a stronger atmosphere and are more convenient to understand each other.
However, is the job information reliable? How to get along after successfully joining the company? Is there a routine in the recruitment process? All kinds of questions have also made some netizens entangled and dare not set foot in them easily.
It can be seen that netizens who are eager to find a job on social apps should think twice about finding a job.
01 Use social apps to find a job
In late spring and early summer, which type of person is most anxious?
College graduates are likely to be on the list.
To achieve these three challenges, product managers will only continue to appreciate
Good product managers are very scarce, and product managers who understand users, business, and data are still in demand when they go out of the Internet. On the contrary, if you only do simple communication, inefficient execution, and shallow thinking, I am afraid that you will not be able to go through the torrent of the next 3-5 years.

After all, internships, papers, job hunting, and making friends almost keep them busy, and if you can combine a few of them, it might be much better.
Pan Ge found that some fresh graduates are trying to find jobs on social apps, and they can also talk about salary and work while talking about love.
Nowadays, social software such as Soul App, Qingteng Love, and Tantan are used by some people as recruitment software, and users who are active in them mainly belong to the three major schools:
The first faction is the “active attack faction”, which tests the search business.
Social App users are mixed, and it is not easy to find the right BOSS and HR. After all, the number of active greetings is limited, and ammunition cannot be easily wasted.
Netizen Xiao Ma told Pan Ge: “As a master’s degree in biology who graduated in 25 years, I want to find a start-up company where everyone works together, because big companies don’t recruit people at all.” I saw a netizen on Soul, whose profile said that he was working hard to start a business, so he went crazy and took the initiative to say hello and ask for a job, but the other party did not reply. ”
Netizen Ah Zhen also said to Brother Pan: “The moment I saw someone sharing on Soul, I revealed the logo of my favorite company, so I took the initiative to socialize with the other party, and the person on the other side was quite good, answered questions such as working environment, salary, etc., and also helped me analyze the job prospects.” ”
The second faction is the “natural faction”, which tests emotional intelligence.
If you take the initiative to find a job on a social app, strangers may ignore it, and if the two gradually become familiar with each other during the chat, the situation may be very different.
Netizens dared to tell Brother Pan: “I was still working melancholy, and I casually made a stroke on the exploration, looking for someone to chat to relieve my boredom, but I didn’t expect that while chatting, the other party actually introduced me to a local company to do personnel.” ”
Netizen Fufu also said to Brother Pan: “Chatting with local users in Qingteng, suddenly talking about work, asking him what recommendations he had, the other party actually asked me to go to their company, saying that they are currently recruiting sales, because it is not in line with my expectations, so I didn’t go in the future.” ”
The third faction is the “Willing Bait Sect”, which tests strength.
In today’s employment environment, most job seekers are in a disadvantaged position; However, if the appearance conditions are outstanding, or if your resume is excellent, it is likely that the offensive and defensive trends will be different.
Netizens are young and beautiful, and have many fans on social apps, she told Brother Pan: “I posted a moment on Soul, complaining that it was difficult to find a job recently, and there were many people chatting with me to push inward, and some of them really went to the interview, but the job was not very suitable, and of course there were many people with impure purposes.” ”
On the other hand, some users still find their favorite jobs not by relying on their beautiful appearance, but by relying on the dynamics posted on social apps.
Netizen Xiaodie told Brother Pan: “When I was in college, I often shared on Soul the pictures and texts of being a professor teaching assistant, tutoring, and studying all night, so the owner of an IT company came to me and asked me if I could do graphic design, and I happened to know Adobe Illustrator, so I successfully joined the company.” ”
02 Will I be embarrassed after joining?
Why do young people who want to find a job go to social apps to find a job? After communicating with many netizens, Brother Pan found that the reasons can be divided into two points:
First of all, from a subjective point of view, compared with cold recruitment software, users who are active on social apps can not only talk about salary, but also talk about hobbies, and the atmosphere of life is relatively stronger.
Therefore, compared with various recruitment software, netizens are more motivated to open social apps, use them for a longer time, and are more willing to apply for jobs on them.
In this regard, some netizens said: “When sending a message on BOSS Direct Recruitment, the other party rarely replies in seconds, and some don’t even look at it; No matter what you talk about on social apps, the other party will generally respond positively. ”
Secondly, from an objective point of view, some functions and mechanisms on social apps are also conducive to job seekers and recruiters to understand each other and facilitate each other’s successful cooperation.
For example, in the social app Qingteng Love, users need to verify information such as graduation school, work unit, marital status, etc. if they want to pass real-name authentication, for many recruitment units, it can not only quickly match suitable candidates, but also eliminate some processes of due diligence.
At the same time, the dynamics posted by users on social apps can also better show their true selves, making it easier for job seekers and recruiters to understand each other’s personalities, three views and other information.
Netizen Xiaonian told Brother Pan: “My last job was found in Soul, or directly connected with the boss, I had a meal and chatted and was interviewed, and I worked for seven months after joining, and then left for personal reasons.” ”
In this way, netizens who are looking for jobs on social apps are not whimsical, but actually far-sighted. However, there are also users who get jobs on social apps and fall into endless embarrassment.
Netizens nagged and told Brother Pan: “I posted a job application moment on Soul, someone left a message asking me to send him a private message, and after the private message, he told me that it was a logistics-related job. But two months after joining the company, I blocked this boss on Soul, because he would see it the moment he went online and posted it; The boss himself seemed to be quite embarrassed, let me say that I saw the information in the recruitment software, because I was afraid that his daughter-in-law would know that he was playing Soul, and now although we are in the same office, we hardly talk to each other. ”
03 It is both an opportunity and a trap
On the social app of easy dating, many people seriously discuss work, will this alternative style of painting make the platform disgusted?
In this regard, Soul said: “For recruitment and job search content naturally derived from the platform, we adhere to the principle of ‘ecological co-construction’: as long as the content complies with community conventions (such as avoiding false information, inducing behavior, etc.), it can flow freely in social scenes. Because when users share their professional experiences, they are both conveying personal narratives and building weak relational connections based on trust. ”
At the same time, Pan Ge learned that there are currently more than 3.3 million users on Soul, sharing their experience and experience in job hunting, changing jobs, and in the workplace; Under the “Soul Real” workplace topic alone, there are more than 2.6 million users telling their professional stories.
Nowadays, job hunting on various social apps is being accepted by more and more young people; In addition to special social apps, in online communities such as Xiaohongshu, Douyin, and Kuaishou, you can often see netizens posting to exchange experiences and information related to job hunting.
However, if users want to bypass recruitment software and get their favorite job through other apps, they must always keep their eyes open.
Netizen Abei told Pan Ge: “Chatting with strangers on Soul, the other party said that their department is recruiting, and there is no responsibility for the basic salary in the first three months, and there will be performance requirements in the future; I looked at the office address he said, which was a place where debt companies gathered, and I heard that the management was particularly chaotic, so I didn’t dare to go. ”
On the other hand, some netizens said: “I once posted a post about job hunting on a social App, and a man immediately sent me a private message, asking me to go to his store as a store manager and let me go to the interview the next night, and I said that I would go to the city for a few days and stop by.” As a result, he sent me another message the next day, but fortunately I didn’t go to the interview. ”
It can be seen that although job hunting on social apps has gradually become a new trend, users must also remain vigilant when they go deep into it; After all, in a mixed online community, it is difficult for you to tell who is a shrimp and who is a crab.
