E-Recruitment And Social Media: Changing The Talent Acquisition Landscape

Abstract

Hiring employees has become easier and faster because of digital technology. Traditional methods, such as newspaper ads and job fairs, are now being replaced by e-recruitment, which involves using the internet and social media to find and hire candidates. Companies now post jobs on websites and use platforms like LinkedIn, Facebook, and Instagram to reach a large number of candidates. This method is more cost-effective and helps attract both active job seekers and passive candidates who are not actively looking for a job but may be interested. E-recruitment also helps build a company’s image by sharing its culture and values online. However, it comes with some challenges, such as too many irrelevant applications, data privacy concerns, and the risk of bias during online screening. This paper discusses how e-recruitment and social media have changed the hiring process, the advantages and problems involved, and gives simple tips for using these tools successfully.
