[**Social Media Recruiting Strategies for Facebook**](https://www.yoh.com/blog/social-media-recruiting-strategies) – Yoh – [@YohCorporate](https://twitter.com/YohCorporate) -  It seems like just about everyone in the world is on Facebook these days, including hiring managers and recruiters. Due to it’s scope, the social networking site should play an integral role in every recruiting process as it allows hiring managers and recruiters to engage with passive and active job seekers at a low cost and with relative ease.

[**An Insider's Secret on How to Hire Highly Competent People**](https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/article/20141020145401-15454-reboot-how-to-really-hire-highly-competent-people) - Lou Adler - [@LouA](https://twitter.com/LouA)** – **Have generic competency models helped hire better people? If you’re looking for basic skills from candidates like multi-tasking, excellent verbal and written skills, leadership qualities, etc., then you may want to rethink your recruiting strategy according to Adler. Looking for these competencies can be tricky as they’re often filled with too much vision and hope; are too generic; are incomplete; and can be difficult to accurately assess. A simple solution he proposes is to ask the hiring manager how the competencies will be specifically used on the job, before going into a generic interview with a candidate that will only result in a vague discussion.
