Abstract

We explore the information seeking behaviour of the recruiters while they search to find candidate job seekers that match the open positions posted by the organizations. We perform a set of contextual inquiries with recruiters at one of Scandinavia's largest job portals and recruitment agencies by using its job database system. We aim to better understand short-term (matching) and long-term (recruitment) information seeking behaviour of the recruiters and their interaction with the search engine based on Solr. Based on the conducted contextual inquiries, we list a set of design implications to be used for better matching systems that can assist the recruiters to find more relevant candidates.
