Abstract

Systems and methods for displaying a user interface object associated with a job candidate's social networking site proximate to a job listing presented by a website are described. When a job candidate selects the user interface object, the systems and methods identify and/or obtain information associated with the job candidate that is located or otherwise stored at the social networking site of which the job candidate is a member. Once the information is identified and/or obtained, the systems and methods provide the information to the website, such as to a job application submission system associated with the website.
