Abstract

The use of Facebook for the employment seeking process is under consideration of many organizations as a new channel to exchange information. Facebook is the largest used private social network site (SNS) in Germany. This paper concentrates on young people between 20 and 30 years. The focus of the paper is the perspective of the individuals and to explain the thoughts and interest of this group regarding employment seeking processes. The research has been done with an online survey and 118 relevant participants. The result provides the indication that the use and membership at Facebook do not influence the behaviour and mechanism of SNS.
