CHAPTER ONE
In this modern and civilised work environment all the things and business activities are
performed through the help of digital technology. This is basically because of the reason that the
business environment is very dynamic and ever changing and there are many different changes
taking place in the technological sector (Foung, Yeh and Jaw, 2020). Thus, in the present
research the main focus is on the use of social media in order to improve the level of recruitment
and the retention of the employees within the company. For the success of the business within
the hospitality sector the most essential thing is the management and satisfaction of the
employees within the company.
Thus, due to this reason the major focus is laid over the use of social media in assisting
the company in managing talent in Nandos and Leon fast food restaurant. This restaurant is a
chain which is established in London and deals in variety of services relating to food. Thus, the
current research will outline the concept of digitalization in the management of the talent within
the hospitality sector. The current research will outline the use of social media in the effective
management of the talent in the restaurant. Also, this research will discuss about the fact that
how the social media influences the attraction, recruitment and the retention of the talented
employees within the company. In the end the research will also outline the various factors
relating to social media which increases the talent management within the restaurant.
Rationale
In the current world the digitalisation is a very fast and popular concept or trend which
needs to be used by the companies for getting successful. This is particularly because of the
reason that if the company will not use the latest trend in the working then the company will not
get successful in its working. Also, another major reason for the selection of the topic is that the
competition within the company is very intense and if the company will not try to ace the
competition then the company will not be able to manage competition. In addition to this another
major reason for the selection of the research topic is the personal and academic interest of the
researcher themselves in the study. Also, due to the high and intense competition it is very
essential for the company and the restaurant it is very essential for the researcher to manage the
work in more effective manner.

CHAPTER TWO
Literature review
Theme 1: Concept of digitalization and talent management.
In the views of Chung and D’Annunzio-Green (2018) digitalization is defined as the
using of digital technology for the use in the normal course of business activities. The
digitalization makes the working and the operations of the company more easy and effective and
this increases the efficiency of the company. Thus, the use of the digital technology assists the
company in managing the work in more proper and effective manner. On the other side, Naim
and Lenka (2017) states that talent management is also very essential for the restaurant to be

successful. This is majorly due to the reason that when the talented employees will not be there
in the restaurant then the consumer will not be happy and satisfied. The talent management is a
concept which focuses on the retaining of the talent in the company itself. This is essential
because the competition in the hospitality industry is very high and it is necessary for the
companies that they have talented staff and employees within the restaurant.
In against of this Sanjeev and Birdie (2019) states that the use of digitalization is very
helpful in the retaining of the talent in the companies itself. This is due to the reason that when
the restaurant uses all the latest trends in the working then the company makes the employees of
the company happier. Thus, the use of digitalization is very essential for the London fast food
industry to get successful. Also, the use of digitalization will assist the restaurant in managing
the work in more effective and good manner. This is due to the reason that with help of the
digitalization there will be more perfection in the work and this will assist the employees in
increasing their efficiency level. The major digitalization taking place in the hospitality sector of
the country is the mobile integration, integration with IoT, focusing on reputation and the
recording of data, use of virtual reality and many others. The fact food companies all over the
globe are very much digitally transformed and this has resulted in better performance of the
company and the employees in attracting the consumers.
Theme 2: Factors pertinent to social media resulting in effective talent management in
London fast food chains.
In the views of Goh and Okumus (2020) there are many factors which are pertinent to the
use of social media at time of the management of talent within the hospitality industry. This is
majorly due to the reason that when the restaurant uses the social media in recruiting the
employees then they get much good and better choices for candidates to select from .thus, this
increases the level of the working of the restaurant and more consumer are attracted towards the
restaurant. The major factor which influences the company in using the digitalization for the
company is to be in the competition. This is the major factor as with help of using the digital
technology the company improves the efficiency of the employees and the overall performance
of the company as well.
On the other side Gibson (2017) argues that major factor affecting the use of the social
media in retaining good talent in the company is the frequent changes in the working
environment. This is majorly because of the reason that if the company does not work in

accordance with the latest changes taking place in the external environment then the company
will not be able to manage the sales and profitability of the company. This is majorly because of
the fact that when the company does not uses the social media then the company will be able to
manage the work in proper and effective manner.
In the views of Naim and Lenka (2017) another major factor which promotes the use of
social media in effectively managing the talent within the company is the latest knowledge which
employees can get from the use of social media. This is majorly due to the reason that when the
restaurant uses the social media then the all the employees of the company can use the social
media in analysing the latest changes taking place in the need and demand of the consumer and
other working of the restaurant chains in the industry. Thus, the use of social media will assist
the restaurant in managing the working and the knowledge of the employees to a great level.
Thus, this will assist the employees in retaining in the company to a great extent and they will
not leave the company and will go to some other competitors.
On the other side as per the thinking of Weyland (2017) states that another major factor
which influences the use of social media in retaining the employees in the restaurant is that with
the help of the social media the employees can easily communicate with one another and this
motivates the employees in working in effective manner. This is majorly because of the reason
that whole restaurants are connected with an internal system and with help of it the
communication is clear and understandable. Thus, this makes the working of restaurant in more
effective and efficient manner.
Theme 3: Major influence which the social media has in recruiting, retaining and attracting
the talent in the fast food industry.
As per the thinking of Cismaru and Iunius (2020) the major influence which the social
media has over the recruiting and retaining of the talent in the fast food industry is positive. This
is majorly because of the reason that the use of social media helps the restaurant in getting the
candidates from all over the world. Thus, this will ensure that the company is getting a
diversified workforce. Thus, this will provide for a better working environment and this will
make sure that the restaurant is having a wide range of employees from all over the globe.
In addition to this Jooss (2018) states that major influence of the use of the social media
over the talent management in the company is that this will increase the working efficiency of
the restaurant. This is particularly because of the reason that when the company makes use of the

social media for the advertising for the vacant position then they will get better review and will
get more effective candidates. Thus, this will increase the overall efficiency of the restaurant and
this will increase the satisfaction level of the consumers. in contrast to this Collings, Mellahi and
Cascio, eds (2017) argues that the major influence of use of social media in recruiting and
retaining the employees is that this will help the employees in getting latest knowledge relating
to all latest changes taking place in the economy and external environment. Thus, this will ensure
that the all the employees working in restaurant are having the knowledge of the recent trends
and need ad demand of the consumer going on.
In the views of Bali and Dixit (2016) the major influence of using the social media on the
recruiting and retaining of employees in restaurant is that this creates a good image of the
restaurant among the employees. This is majorly because of the reason that when the restaurant
uses all the latest trends that are the use of social media then the employees will like this. Thus,
due to this reason more and more people are attracted towards the recruitment within the
restaurant and the hospitality sector.
In against of this Cappelli and Keller (2018) argues that the major influence of the use of
social media for the purpose of recruitment and retention of the employees is that the cost of the
company or the restaurant increases. This is majorly because of the reason that when the
company makes use of the social media then high cost needs to be incurred by the company for
giving advertisement in the social media and also the training need to be provided to employees
for the use of social media.
CHAPTER THREE
Methods and methodology
Research type: Research, is regarded as a collection of the activity which are performed with
the purpose of finding out the solution of variety of the issue which is being faced by the client in
general (Kumar, 2019). There are two known research type which are always used by the
researcher in the field of research namely Qualitative and Quantitative research. Qualitative
research is the one which consider looking at non numerical information and providing the
solution. In the current research Qualitative research type will be consider by scholar reason
behind the same is these sort of research type get easier to present the outcome of research, as it
is very difficult to present the data in the numerical form. Reason behind the same can be there

are variety of information which generally used to form the research, information can be in the
form of numeric as well as non numeric form, so conceiving all the data in the form of numerical
is much tougher ask as compare to conceiving the same into non numerical form.
Research philosophy: Philosophy, here means to conduct the in depth research on the topic and
looks at the variety of different nature of the philosophy. Two profound and most trusted
research philosophies are interpretivism and positivism research philosophy (Mohajan, 2018).
Positivism philosophy is consider to be the one in general which eventually used to look at
researching on to the variety of different sort of factual data which are universally expected.
Generally this used to include the information which has been trusted and proven in the past by
variety of different researcher to conduct their study as well. At the same time Interpretivism
research philosophy generally looks at considering the variety of human interest which is
involved into the research. To achieve the objective of the current study, researcher has looked
for a interpretivism research type, reason behind the same is identified that for these sort of
research it was too important for the business to understand the interest level of different level of
Human who are involved in the study. As to gather a good understanding on the topic of the
study it is very much vital for the organization to understand the point of view of the human as
they are also equally involved in the study.
Research Approach: research approach is regarded as a one which generally used to look at
making and considering the variety of different sort of assumption in regards of the way data can
be collected and use for the purpose of conducting the research. Two approaches of study are
inductive and deductive research approach. Deductive is the one which consider the previous
theory and principle and on the basis of same outcome of the research are found. These
approached and theories in general have been tested by many in past for their purpose of
conducting a research. On the other note inductive research approach are one which looks at
giving the new theory on the basis of the outcome of the research which has been already found
out. General all the information which is found out under these approach is generally freshen in
nature Current study will look to consider the inductive research approach as it used to suit the
type of research type which has been selected in the study. Also, inductive research approach
will eventually help the scholar in using the variety of different thing such as patterns, resembles
and variety of regularities in real experience to achieve and find out the conclusion of the study
in more efficient way.

Data Collection: Data collection is regarded as a one in which different information is collected
with the purpose of finding out the solution of the issue faced by organization. Primary and
secondary are two most trusted and used data collection tool (Humphries, 2017). Primary is the
one in which data is collected for the first time from the occurrence itself. Looking at the nature
of the information it has been find out that information which is drive from primary data
collection tool are fresher as compare to other form of data collection. Secondary data is the one
in which data is collected from the source who have collected the data in past. Generally scholar
in general used to touch with the different author and magazine who have collected the different
data for their purpose in past. This sort of data is not fresh in nature it has been already used once
in past. In current study primary data will be collected by the way of conducting the interview
which will be conducted on to 6 different respondents. Interview will be based upon the different
sort of Question which will help the individual in getting good sort of understanding in regards
of the research topic. Secondary data in the study will be collected by going through the variety
of different type of article and journal which are related to the topic of the research in general.
This will help the scholar in supporting the variety of the different type of the information which
has been conducted by the way of the primary data collection tool, as it would work as a
evidence to primary data.
Data Analysis: A process which generally concentrates on giving the best data and presents the
same toward the other out of the data which has been collected with help of different data
collection tool. A process of analysis Data collected is known as Data Analysis. For analysing
variety of data which has been collected in the study Qualitative data analysis tool has been used,
under Qualitative data analysis thematic data analysis tool has been used. By using the same tool
Scholar in study has made the variety of different sort of the theme and graph and on the basis of
same different outcome has been presented in the study.
Sampling: Sampling generally means a process of selecting the respondent base from population
of base. Sampling element of the study can be performed by two general methods. Probabilistic
and non probabilistic method (Ørngreen and Levinsen, 2017). Probabilistic method looks at
providing all respondent an equal chance to get selected in the sample size of the company. At
the same time Non probabilistic sampling relates to a situation in which all the population
member are not given the equal chance to get selected in the sample size. For the above study
researcher has gone with the Convenience Sampling method under non-probabilistic sampling.

In which the respondent has been selected in regards of the prospect that how the respondent can
be contracted. By using the Convenience sampling technique in these research 6 respondents has
been selected as a sample size of the study.
Ethical Consideration: In the process of conducting the study there are variety of ethical
consideration which has been consider by the Scholar in the study. As Scholar has make sure that
consent of all the individual has been taken before collecting the different information in the
project. Also Scholar has make sure that good sort of confidentiality has been maintained
throughout the process of the study to carry out different operation of the study. Also, scholar has
make sure that the different information which has been collected in the research has been
presented as it is there is no change in the information, these eventually means that the
information which is presented is good enough to conduct the research.
Limitation: These were variety of different type of limitation which was also seen by
Scholar at the time of carrying out the study (Ulmer, 2017). First of them was time allotted to
complete the project as time allotted was not good enough to complete the project so with the
help of team member I was able to complete the project on time. Another was one to select the
best source through which different data can be collected in a way that it used to give good
outcome as per the requirement of the project. Communication was another sort of the issue
which was faced, as it was getting to difficult to communicate in the team environment. So for
overcoming the same issue in the study, scholar has make sure that there are more than one tool
has been used to conduct and find the outcome of the study.

CHAPTER FIVE
Conclusion
From the above discussion it is summarised that the use of digitalization in the hospitality sector
for the talent management is very essential. This is majorly because of the reason that this is the
latest trend which is going on in the global external environment. Thus, it is very essential for the
restaurant to make use and comply with all the latest trends going in the industry. The whole
research concluded that the use of social media for the recruitment and retaining of the
employees within the restaurant is very essential. This is due to the reason that the use of digital
technology helps the company in attracting more of the employees.
This was pertaining to the fact that when the company uses technology then the people
are attracted towards it as they have to do less work and the major working will be performed by
the technology and this will attract more of the people to work in the company. In addition to this
the research aim and objective was very essential to be formed at first. This is majorly because of

the reason that if the aim and objective will not be there then the research would have not
completed. The major reason underlying this is that the whole research is based on these aim and
objectives only and due to this it is very essential for the company to make effective aim and
objectives.
Also, from the above discussion and evaluation it was clear that the use of the research
methods and the selection of the methods of research are very essential to be done in advance.
This is majorly because of the reason that when the researcher will know that which method of
research need to be applied by the researcher in advance then they not waste time and this will
will help the researcher in completing the whole research in successful. In addition to this the use
of thematic analysis also assisted the researcher in making the analysis of the primary data
gathered more meaningful and sensible.
Recommendation
 Above report conclude that there is no clear response in term of working year of the
employee, these is not that good sign for the organization for the same reason it has been
recommended to the organization that they have to make sure that they used to maintain a
good sort of working environment in the organization (Taherdoost, 2016). As it is the
only way organization can manage the relationship with different employee in the
organization, these will help the organization in maintaining the human resource of the
company for the longer period of time in the organization. These can be done by
organizing different get to gather in the organization on the timely basis.
 Collected data shows that most of the respondent in the organization used to own tablet
with them in the organization, it is recommended to the organization that using laptop in
the organization will be much better choice as compare to the tablet in the organization.
Reason behind the same is that tablet generally used to consume better amount of battery
as compare to the laptop. Also laptop generally used to provide the better space back up
as compare to the other device in the organization these eventually help the organization
in getting improved quality of efficiency in the organization to carry out the variety of
different type of activity of the organization. Not only had that laptop generally used to
present a better and formal image of the employee in front of the other client in the
organization. This may help the individual in the long run.

 It has been find out that social media in the organization used to help the organization in
recruiting better number of the employee in the organization. For the same reason it has
been recommended to the organization that they used to provide the training to all the
staff member in the organization in regards of the using social media platform to recruit
the employee in the organization, these eventually used to help the organization in seeing
better sort of result as compare to using any other sort of the information in the market.
Social media recruiting will open up the better number of the employee who are looking
to get a job, so it is very important for the business to use social media in the recruitment
process.
 Above it has been concluded that social media has enhanced the efficiency of restaurant
by increasing the potential employee. For the same reason it has been recommended to
the organization that they used to use different sort of social media platform and
marketing in their operation these will eventually help the organization in seeing better
number of consumer in the organization, these will also help the organization in
enhancing the performance of the organization. Training to all the employee in regards of
using the social media platform is the best way through which these sort of thing can be
incorporate in the organization.
REFLECTION
Conducting the study for the organization was a experience which has taken me through
variety of different but looking at the overall experience it can be said that using different
methodology has helped me in finding out the outcome of project in better way in the project.
Using Qualitative research type to conduct the research has eventually helped me in
understanding and learning good sort of learning in terms of topic of study, as in the past I was
not having that sort of learning about the topic, these sort of learning has helped me at the time of
conducting the research on the same topic. Conducting these type of the research in the project
has helped me in gathering the variety of different information in the non numerical form these
would have eventually helped me in finding the outcome of the research in the better way.
Using Interpretivism philosophy in the study has eventually helped me in integrating the
variety of different sort of human interest which was involved in the study, these has eventually
helped me in getting more accurate and nominal knowledge about the topic of the study as it has
been identified by me that the real issue in regards of the topic is generally faced by the Human

only. So understanding the human interest is one of the significant things. Using Interpretivism
philosophy has eventually helped me in getting the same quality and prospect of the information
from the market.
For analysing the variety of different type of data which has been collected in the study
thematic data analysis tool has been used in the research. Using these sort of sampling method in
the study has helped me in presenting the variety of different sort of the information in the
market in more presentable way so that different viewer of the study can understand the same
outcome in more proficient way.
There was variety of limitation which was also seen by me at the time of conducting the study
with the help of such type of methodology. As it was getting to difficult to complete the project
on time, this is the time my team member has helped me in completing the project on time.
Another was in regards of getting check the project, as it was to difficult for me to get checked
the project checked from the tutor. For the same reason I started taking the appointment of the
tutor two day prior to submission.
Outcome of the study has been find out by the means of variety of the methodology
which has been used in the study. There were variety of different alternative which was also in
front of the scholar to use the same as well in the study as well.
Scholar was having the option of selecting Quantitative research type to find out the
outcome of the study in the better way, as these form of the outcome would have helped the
scholar in providing good evidence to the outcome of the research which has been derived. As
numerical data in the research would have provided the option for the scholar in giving the
specific and the perfect outcome of the study in the numerical form
In prospect of research approach, there was a good opportunity in front of the scholar to
select the deductive research type, as selecting the same would have helped the researcher in
getting more efficient outcome, as it would have eventually got better for the scholar in getting
more tested outcome as deductive approach in the research would have helped the scholar in
selecting the approach which has been already tested by the different scholar in the past to
conduct their sort of research.
