O uso das redes sociais no recrutamento e seleção de pessoal : entendendo a percepção da comunidade acadêmica

Abstract

The research aims to analyze the perception of teachers and students regarding the use of social networks in the recruitment and selection process. It was based on a theoretical framework that includes the history of administration, people management and social networks. We sought to study the impact of Social Networks as an emerging tool for recruiting and selecting people. The research was classified as qualitative. The research unit was the Federal University of Sergipe, with teachers and students from that institution as respondents. In this way, a structured and online questionnaire was applied on the topic. This questionnaire had the participation of 138 people, including teachers and students from the academic community of the Federal University of Sergipe, with the aim of outlining some parameters related to what these people think about the use of social networks in the search for job opportunities. Data analysis, which was carried out using descriptive statistics, leads us to believe that the researched subjects see the important of social networks have in influencing recruitment and selection actions of people, even if they do not feel comfortable with this attitude.
