Internet Social Networking sites (SNSs) are formed on the Internet allowing individuals with similar interests to interact on a social level. Companies regard this platform as a new market place, and its members as current or future customers. Recently companies have started to treat social networking sites as recruitment tool in order to avoid missing out on highly-qualified candidates who frequent these sites. It is believed that SNSs are giving employers the ability to connect with job seekers on a more personal level than before. Due to innovativeness of the topic, previous studies have not combined together recruitment and SNS, and therefore there is no model that would integrate relevant research variables to verify the cause of job seekers’ behavioral intentions to use SNS as job seeking tool. This research was intended to fill in the gap, and investigates influence of information privacy concerns and trust in SNSs on job seekers’ behavioral intentions concerning the use of the SNS as a job source.
This study surveyed and collected 154 questionnaires. The results indicated that trust in SNSs and SNS experience have significant influences on job seekers behavioral intentions in SNSs, while the influence of privacy concern on job seekers behavioral intentions is fully mediated by trust in SNSs.
