### A New Year is filled with boundless hope and promise…until February rolls around and you’ve lost all hope by breaking every promise made on New Year’s Eve. Increase the likelihood of sticking to your resolution by making a good one worthy of your will power.

As you evaluate your personal and professional goals, we give you the top 3 misguided social recruiting resolutions you should omit or revise before midnight strikes on January 1st.

1. ## Continue chasing just that one KPI = No. of Applicants
2. ## Do everything on your own
3. ## Commit to social recruiting…in Q2…or Q3…or maybe after a year…give or take…

    
 Just as David Creelmen comments [in his recent, opinionated post on TLNT](http://www.tlnt.com/2014/12/10/technology-insights-when-todays-tech-themes-become-everyday-terms):

> The HR technology world moves quickly and last year’s hot new idea becomes this year’s commonplace feature. HR needs a technology road map and they need to update that road map every year. The road map isn’t necessarily the path you will end up following, however it keeps you aware of the terrain.
