ABSTRACT
This chapter focuses on a number of issues considered important, such as the role of social networking websites (SNWs ) and their impact on applicants' reactions. It aslo focuses on research published since the most recent reviews on the topic of applicant reactions. The chapter briefly reviews and present the most important theoretical frameworks pertaining to applicant reactions research, and the most recent empirical studies not covered in these reviews, with reference to a few earlier studies that are relevant to our current work. Since the early 2000s, when one of the first papers on Internet recruitment and selection appeared in the International Journal of Selection and Assessment, many things have changed in the field, impacting dramatically on both research and practice in staffing. The impact of fairness reactions on candidates' attitudinal, emotional, and behavioral intentions and their association with organizational attractiveness and, potentially, other important personal and organizational outcomes, demonstrates their importance for organizations and Human Resources (HR) departments.
