Using Social Networking Sites in Recruitment and Selection Processes: Future Employees’ Perspectives

Original language description

recruiting the right employees is a significant challenge for organizations today, and essential for maintaining a competitive advantage. In a rapidly changing business environment and a technology-driven job market, traditional recruitment methods have become inadequate. Online recruitment as a transformative trend is fundamentally changing how job seekers find employment and how employers find candidates. Social media, particularly platforms like Facebook, Twitter, andLinkedIn, have become influential tools in recruitment and selection. While social networking sites offer numerous advantages, their utilization also brings potential risks and ethical concerns. The study aims to gain an insight into the use of social networking sites by organizations during recruitment and selection processes from the perspective of job seekers. To achieve this aim, focus groups were chosen as the research method. In March 2024 eleven focus groups were conducted with master&apos;s degree students from a Czech university. The findings reveal that the participants perceive both benefits and drawbacks in using social networks in the recruitment process and at the same time recognize the challenges and potential risks. Understanding the benefits and drawbacks perceived by job seekers can help organizations refine their social media recruitment strategies to attract top talent more effectively. Furthermore, insights into candidates&apos; views on ethical concerns andpotential risks can guide organizations in creating a more transparent and ethical recruitment process.
