Tik Tok on Wednesday, July 7 launched a pilot program that lets users upload video resumes for U.S.-based jobs ranging from a WWE Superstar to a senior data engineer at Shopify or a creative producer at TikTok itself.

The program is called “TikTok Resumes” and under this companies including Chipotle Mexican Grill and Target Corp will accept video resumes for openings from July 7 through July 31.

The company in a blog post said, “Tik Tok will let users apply for entry-level jobs to experienced positions with videos bearing the hashtag #TikTokResumes.”

Companies including dating app Bumble Inc and Facebook have features that let users network and search for jobs, but Microsoft Corp’s LinkedIn remains the go-to social media site for professionals.
