You have until 22 February 2022 to continue using Facebook Jobs, as Meta announces major changes that will see countries apart from Canada and the United States locked out from using the famous jobs feature.

What’s changing

  • Existing Facebook Groups with a “Jobs” group type will be changed to the “General” group type and the “Jobs” group type will no longer be available.
  • The ability to distribute free jobs via a partner integration with the Facebook Jobs API will no longer be available.
  • Facebook Jobs will no longer be available on the Facebook Lite app or Facebook mobile website (m.facebook.com/jobs) for both employers and jobseekers.
  • The Facebook Jobs browser will no longer be available.
  • Facebook Jobs is shutting down outside the United States and Canada.

What’s not changing

  • Employers in the United States and Canada can continue to use Facebook Jobs tools to create job postings from their Page for free on the Facebook app and Facebook desktop website (www.facebook.com). They can also choose to boost their posts as ads.
  • Employers in the United States and Canada will continue to be able to manage their job applications and view details about all their job posts (boosted and non-boosted) through the Inbox and Manage Jobs sections of their Page.
  • Jobseekers in the United States and Canada can continue to apply to positions using Facebook Jobs product features such as clicking Apply now on the job post, which will bring them to the detail view and then to an application form.
