Summary/Abstract: Social networks are phenomenon that changes the way we communicate in both personal and professional lives. Due to them, the private and work dimensions are intertwined and so no wonder that the use of social networks is also penetrated into the recruitment policy of companies. This fact is the result of a growing demand for labour force associated with a low level of unemployment. The aim of the paper is to find out whether the preferred form (traditional vs. e-recruitment) affects the success of the whole recruitment process. Based on the statistical testing using Chi-square, there is no dependence between the preferred form and its impact on the success of the recruiting process. Because social networks in their essence have a high potential to improve not only e-recruiting, but also traditional forms of recruiting, therefore, we have expanded the research in this paper by including the moderation analysis. The results confirm the importance of using social networks in both preferred forms of recruitment due to their positive impact on the success of the whole recruitment process in the Czech Republic and Slovakia.
