Abstract:

In addition to the personality characteristics of individuals, the biological characteristics are different. Biological characteristics include eye, sound, hand and fingerprint for characteristics that are specific to a person. The specific features are measured in terms of safety today. Biometry abroad shows itself in almost every area. CVs in job applications may hide some of the events in the person's past life. But fingerprinting is a preferred method for controlling and confirming past information about a person. Fingerprint acquisition, even if it is a method that is not yet used in job applications in our country, will be inevitable in the future. No studies have been found in relation to the use of fingerprints for the recruitment process or other human resources applications. The purpose of this research is to determine the perceptions of individuals about getting fingerprints in their job applications. In research, the quality research method was preferred. Interviews were made to measure the perceptions of people. The data obtained are interpreted by conceptualization. Some of the participants were positive to give a fingerprint in their job application, while some of the participants were negative. Participants with negative thoughts pointed out that this situation could lead to an uncertain environment between the employee and the employer, misintended behavior. Workers with positive thinking have said that the element of confidence between the employer and them will be stronger. Fingerprint in job applications represents a thin line in terms of privacy and that the employer has access to the information he needs to learn about the employee candidate.
