Facebook launches Social Jobs, a job search app - Nov. 14, 2012

★ Summary
1. The Social Jobs app takes off, Facebook could become a more direct competitor in the professional space. Shares of LinkedIn ended the day slightly lower.
2. Job seekers can search for positions based on industry, keywords and location. There's also a special filter for veteran-friendly jobs.
3. The social network will become a more important part of hiring in the future.

★ Thinking.
I think that facebook is not thinking to beat any job search or recruiting site and which would be really difficult at this time. This is just one more effort to keep its user active with new services and its bring one more issue to table of investors.
