Riham Mohamed, a PhD student supervised by Dr. Sonia Chiasson in the School of Computer Science at Carleton University is conducting a user study exploring factors influencing managers’ hiring decisions in the digital age, in particular, how these decisions relate to social media.

The study involves one 60-minute session that includes viewing an online profile of a fictitious job candidate, followed by an interview and questionnaire about experience as a manager and opinion of the fictional profile. Participants will be compensated $20.
