Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to examine the employed jobseekers' perceptions andbehaviours of third-party e-recruitment technology adoption in Malaysia.
Design/methodology/approach - Using the validated modified Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) without the attitude construct as the core research framework and identifying Perceived Privacy Risk (PPR), Performance Expectancy (PE), Application-Specific Self-Efficacy (ASSE), and Perceived Stress (PS) as key external variables that form the research model for the study of e-recruitment technology adoption.
Findings - The results identify few key determinants to this technology adoption. Moreover, the weak evidence of the behavioural, intention indicates that e-recruitment has not replaced some of the conventional recruitment methods.
Practical implications - The study implies that the third party e-recruiters' policy makers and human resources practitioners need to improve the e-recruitment system and services to attract these "passive" talented groups of candidates for employment.
Originality/value - The paper provides an insight for human resources practitioners on the effective use of third-party e-recruitment service provider and the strategy to attract employed jobseekers for employment.
