The idea: People who know people at the company they're applying to get hired more often than people who don't.
JIBE, an online social recruiting business, helps you find those connections and attach them along with your cover letter and resume when you apply for jobs online.

* The job seeker clicks on the opening and fills out the application.
* Before the application can be submitted, the user must login to Facebook and LinkedIn.
