It is the process of obtaining or acquiring suitable candidates for an organisation. The purpose of this study was to examine the moderating role of user attitude (UAT) on the relationship between perceived ease of use (PEOU), perceived usefulness (PU), facilitating condition (FC), and e-recruitment adoption (ERA) in Nigerian civil service. Even though the relationships have generated significant scholarly interest, few studies have been conducted on e-recruitment adoption among the Nigerian civil service. Using a crosssectional survey design, 216 questionnaires were distributed to 112 ministries and local government in North Western Nigeria. The study adopted a proportionate stratified random sampling; data were selected from different strata. A total of 185 questionnaires were returned, giving a response rate of 85.6 percent. SmartPLS 2.0 was employed to analyse the data. The findings revealed that PEOU, PU, and FC had a direct significant relationship with the adoption of e-recruitment in Nigeria civil services. Of the moderating relationships, UAT was found to moderate those between PU, FC, and ERA but exerted no moderating effect on the relationship between PEOU and ERA.
