Abstract

This paper explores the conceptual inquiry on recruitment and selection in the digital age. The corporate career website, commercial websites, and social media are widely used in recruitment process throughout the world. An analytical research provides factual inquiry on trends in e-recruitment and selection practices globally. This paper identifies the reason for online recruitment such as reduction of recruitment costs, availability of more number of candidates, effective use of social media tool for employee referrals, and availability of top talented persons across geographical locations. The challenges faced by an organization in e-recruitment process include restriction on use of social media, content on the digital application, too much information about the candidate, and efficiency in response time is too low. Commercial websites and social networking sites are key to the recruiter in reduction of recruitment process due to usage of e-recruitment and selection practices.
