E-Recruitment Revolution: Leveraging Social Media for Modern Talent Acquisition

Abstract

This study aims to highlight the evolution of recruitment and selection processes across different countries, focusing on how the advent of the internet has transformed traditional recruitment methods into online recruitment (e-recruitment). Additionally, it examines the role of social media as a tool for e-recruitment, exploring its positive and negative aspects. Through a comprehensive review of existing literature, the study constructs a conceptual framework detailing the phases of e-recruitment development. The findings underscore the advantages of e-recruitment, such as cost-effectiveness, reduced time consumption, and broader accessibility, while also addressing the challenges, including privacy concerns and potential biases. This study provides valuable insights into the impact of social media on the recruitment process, offering a balanced perspective on its benefits and drawbacks.
