2.0 Literature Review
2.1 Importance of new technology on employee recruitment process in
COVID-19
Employee recruiting, like any other part of today's market, relies on efficiency and
quality. HR practitioners must develop strategies for easily searching through applications
while correctly choosing the best applicants. The aid could come in the form of new
technologies. According to Wiernek (2006), it is possible to claim that the field of
emerging technology and personnel policy is attempting to keep up with new
developments at a startling and convergent pace. To change the role of human resource
management in an organisation, the whole organisation approach must be adjusted
(Jabłoński, 2011). Although taking advantage of the benefits of the Internet, many
businesses use online information management tools to recruit employees. E-recruitment
applications simplify the process of posting job openings and receiving CVs (Faliagka,
2012).
Ployhart (2006), suggested that some of the definitions such as employee recruiting refer
to the processes and activities used by an organisation to locate, retain, and influence the
career choices of qualified applicants. Furthermore, recruiting has an effect on employee
engagement, performance, and retention, as well as the company’s skill factors. It is also
a source of experience, strategic execution, and competitive advantage (Phillips, & Gully,
2015). In addition, to attract and involve the target audience, the digital marketing
approach represents the development process that is not necessarily relevant to the job
opening itself (Baetzgen et al., 2015). As a result, the final step in the recruiting process is
to interview the candidates to determine who the best fit for the organisation (Pikala,
2017).
