Main Article Content
Abstract
The selection of personnel has been classified as a macro-process composed of several activities. From this point, the objective of the work was to analyze how human resources professionals use social platforms in hiring decisions during the different stages of the selection process. The research uses a mixed methods sequential explanatory approach. The first study consisted of a questionnaire-based survey of professional recruitment with the intention of describing various aspects of current practice (n = 429). The survey data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The second study comprised semi-structured interviews with hiring professionals to provide a greater depth of analysis (n = 24). The data from the interviews were analyzed using a qualitative thematic analysis. The results revealed two types of users. Single-stage users emphasized efficiency concerns, while multi-stage users mentioned accessing profiles as needed. The evaluation of information from social platforms is not usually systematic, but some employers reported that they use scales, mainly in pre-selection.
