    Digital footprints and recruitment: an experimental study on the impact of social media content on hiring decisions
    (Frontiers Media Sa, 2025) Turker, Nazli; Unguren, Engin
    Introduction The aim of this study is to reveal the extent to which and the ways in which the content that candidates share on their social media profiles influences the evaluations of decision-makers in recruitment processes.Methods To that end, an experimental study was conducted with 480 managers and human resources specialists authorized in recruitment processes at four- and five-star hotels in different regions of T & uuml;rkiye. A fictional scenario was developed to create a realistic recruitment situation. Participants were randomly assigned to a control group and two experimental groups, where they examined r & eacute;sum & eacute;s of candidates together with social media profiles, manipulated to appear either professional or non-professional, and evaluated their hiring intentions. Thus, the study tested the weight of personal signals perceived from social media posts, alongside the professional competencies and experience stated in the candidates' r & eacute;sum & eacute;s, in the decision-making processes of evaluators.Results The findings show that social media content significantly influences perceptions of professional competence and person-organization fit, thereby altering hiring intention. In particular, negative social media content was found to overshadow the professional competence signal, even for highly qualified candidates, leading to a prioritization of perceived cultural fit. In contrast, professional content enabled candidates to send a positive fit signal, supporting hiring intention.Discussion and conclusion Social media profiles function as a strategic moderator that reinforces or weakens the technical signals presented in r & eacute;sum & eacute;s and substantially shapes the perceived suitability of candidates. These results indicate that social media content is not only a supplementary source of information but also a strong signaling mechanism that guides recruitment decisions. The study makes theoretical contributions to Signaling Theory and provides important practical implications regarding the use of social media in recruitment processes.

    Is it possible to overcome the bias in the recruitment process? An experimental study on halo and contrast effect
    (Inderscience Enterprises Ltd, 2024) Unguren, Engin; Turker, Nazli
    This study aims to determine whether or not candidates' curriculum vitae generate halo and contrast effects on recruiters' decisions for a particular professional position. The true experimental design of the study was conducted. A total of 900 university students in tourism participated in the study. A fictional scenario based on recruitment was set up and evaluations were tested with research questions regarding said scenarios. Respondents in control and experiment groups evaluated with 15-day intervals the curriculum vitae of different candidates, who applied for a front office department manager position, concerning their professional adequacy, perceived performance, and employability. Findings revealed that respondents base their candidate evaluations on comparisons rather than the requirements of the position. Moreover, respondents are observed to make inferences regarding candidates' personality traits based on the information they provide in their curriculum vitae. The findings of the study contribute to understanding potential rater bias in recruitment.

    (Fundacao Getulio Vargas, 2023) Unguren, Engin; Turker, Nazli
    This research aims to determine whether collaborative hypertext dictionaries (CHDs) offer warranties within the scope of the warranting theory. A fictional script based on recruitment processes was used to examine whether the comments about persons in CHDs offer warranties to recruiters. The study was conducted with a posttest-only control group design from amongst true experimental designs. The sample consisted of 359 persons, including board members of five-star accommodation establishments with recruitment privileges, deputy general managers, accounting managers, and human resources staff. The study concluded that positive or negative comments about applicants in CHDs significantly impact the recruiters' perspective of them. Also, the research considered important resources in recruitment processes when it comes to offering warranties. The research findings provide a practical contribution by revealing the effect of applicants' social media content on the recruiter's choice.

Intense rumination is known to have a negative impact on individuals' life satisfaction levels. Very little is known about variables that may mediate and moderate this relationship. PARTICIPANTS AND PROCEDURE The study was conducted with staff members of five-star accommodation establishments in Turkey. Data were collected with a quantitative research method via questionnaires, completed by 386 full-time employees. RESULTS The results show that rumination negatively affects life satisfaction, and fear of COVID-19 has a mediating role
