Abstract
The present study analyses the advantages and disadvantages of using data
which is obtained from social media to recruit for the military profession. People
disseminate a lot of personal data on social media, which is why social media has
become an important tool for recruitment.
The more information people transfer from their private lives on social media,
the more their lives become a public space that can be used by anyone. All changes in
society through the development of technology have also led to people’s erroneous
approaches to what the right to privacy means in the use of social media. Thus, social
media users provide personal data, without realizing that this data can be accessed by
any other user.
In order to determine the advantages and disadvantages of the use of data
provided by social media users in recruitment, an analysis of the literature was carried out.
The conclusions highlight the importance of social media in the 21st century and
the need to realize that the data provided on social media becomes public and accessible
to any other user.
Keywords: social media, recruitment, data, advantages and disadvantages.
