Facebook is making its jobs tool available in more than 40 countries.

A year ago, Facebook made it possible for businesses to create job postings and for job seekers to apply for those openings directly on the social network in the U.S. and Canada.
On Wednesday February 28, Facebook announced it is expanding this tool to more than 40 countries.

Businesses and people on the social network can use the feature for free, which is geared toward helping local businesses find candidates nearby. Since debuting the tool last year, Facebook has added features that allow businesses to create job posts, manage applications and schedule interviews, entirely on mobile.

Job seekers can set up job alerts for the types of roles that interest them. The international expansion, which is rolling out on desktop and on mobile, could help Facebook compete more seriously with other recruitment and jobs platforms such as Microsoft-owned LinkedIn, Glassdoor and Monster.com.

Facebook's tools are geared toward small businesses, which employ about half of U.S. workers and represent about an important market for Facebook's advertising business.
