“…In the context of career development programs in community technology centers, research has shown that navigating platforms to look for jobs entails learning to navigate the sites' predictive features, and also grappling with the ways the sites are using people's data. For example, Smythe et al (2021) explored the challenges of e-recruitment, where algorithms are used to select job applicants based on keywords. Applying for jobs in this context entailed "entering into complex speculative literacy practices with the machine that are difficult for those new to technologies" (p. 15).…”

“…As public spaces that provide internet access and frequently take on a social component given the presence of adult patrons and staff, community technology centers can be fruitful for understanding the everyday identity positionings of adults through human and technology interactions. Housed in libraries, municipal recreation centers, and nonprofits, the centers provide diverse programming focused on topics such as digital skills, career exploration, and employment (Gangadharan, 2017; Jimoyiannis & Gravani, 2011; Lin et al., 2012; Pendell et al., 2013; Smythe, 2018; Smythe et al., 2021). These programs are frequently targeted toward adults from marginalized groups (Gangadharan, 2017), such as individuals who do not have broadband internet access or face barriers to employment.…”

Requests by education and workforce‐related technologies to reveal intimate aspects of adult learners' identities have become a common practice in a platform society, where personal information is monetized for “free” products and services. This article uses a sociomaterial lens to investigate how an older job seeker in a community technology center positioned her identity in and through a variety of literacy practices as she engaged with technology platforms in her job search. Drawing from data gathered over a 5‐month period with this job seeker as part of a larger ethnographic case study, this article shows the centrality of identity production in navigating and making sense of technologies, which entails negotiating one's sense of self across both front‐end user interfaces and back‐end infrastructures. Practical implications include creating space for students' critical agency of platforms, which can lead to meaningful change in policies related to data collection.

“…The COVID-19 has given a new boost to such recruitment websites such as Monster, Career Builder, www.acdmhr.theiaer.org Indeed, Glassdoor, etc. Many business and occupational sectors use these platforms to reach out to potential candidates (Smythe et al, 2021). With a small fee, these platforms let companies advertise and help attract thousands of applicants from all over the world.…”

“…Social networking sites as a part of social media allow to reach a wider set of audiences and advertise the employment benefits to them, being a more rapid and cost-effective method (Tanwar and Kumar, 2019). Thus, the key advantages of an efficient e-recruitment system for a company are the faster information exchange, wider access to a diverse and qualified group of jobseekers, more agility in filling vacancies, lower costs of promoting a company, improved organization attraction, performance and quality (Holm, 2012; Smythe et al , 2021).…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate the impact of e-recruitment practices on e-recruitment outcomes in Russian companies. Design/methodology/approach This study uses the quantitative approach based on a survey of a sample encompassing 449 companies in Russia. Findings E-recruitment practices are positively related to e-recruitment outcomes. However, e-recruitment usage does not mediate the relationship between e-recruitment practices and e-recruitment outcomes. Research limitations/implications The extent to which the findings of this research can be generalized is constrained by a single country and cross-sectional data. Originality/value The current study is the first to present the e-recruitment practices, including both internet-based ones and internal technology-enabled solutions, within the overall context of human resource management (HRM) digitalization in the companies and specific HRM outcomes.
