E-RECRUITMENT PRACTICES: A SOCIOTECHNICAL PERSPECTIVE ON RECRUITMENT IN PAKISTAN’S PRIVATE SECTOR

Abstract

The adoption of internet technology has transformed recruitment processes across the globe, with e-recruitment emerging as a dominant trend, particularly post-COVID-19. This paper explores the effectiveness of e-recruitment from a recruiter’s viewpoint, focusing on its implications in the Pakistani private sector. E-recruitment has facilitated broader reach, increased efficiency, and improved organizational image through digital recruitment platforms. The study examines how technological innovations impact human resource practices, labor market dynamics, and workforce access. The findings suggest that e-recruitment not only streamlines hiring but also reflects broader social transformations in work practices and recruitment.
