Although employment web sites have recently become the main source for re-
cruitment and selection process, the relation between those sites and unemploy-
ment rates is seldom addressed. Deriving data from 32 countries and 427 web
sites, this study explores the correlation between unemployment rates of
European countries and the attractiveness of country specific employment web
sites. It also compares the changes in unemployment rates and traffic on all
the aforementioned web sites. The results showed that there is a strong
correlation between web sites traffic and unemployment rates.Comment: 9 page
