Abstract

The research article aims to explain new trends in the Human Resource recruitment process and evaluate the impact of such new recruitment trends on job seekers. Recruitment practices used by HR management have changed drastically due to various reasons. Among these, the most influential factors include the digitisation of society, increased competition among companies, lack of proper wages, higher number of job seekers, upgrading society’s lifestyle, and increased demand for skilled labour. Modern recruitment practices have adapted to such market trends to ensure sustainability and it is important to highlight such modern recruitment trends to understand how it affects the economy as a whole. Analysing the new trends in HR recruitment will also help to understand how job seekers are impacted, and whether such practices make unemployment better off or worse off. Different recruitment practices will have a different type of impact and hence evaluating all the trending recruitment strategies is essential to deduce the most optimal, ethical, and feasible recruitment practice those organisations can implement to gain competitive advantage and sustainability in the long run. This research will take the exploratory path as it tries to collect all information from existing literature and market knowledge regarding the latest HR recruitment practices. Using an exploratory model to develop a collection of all such recruitment strategies will help to compare the advantages and disadvantages of each from the perspective of the job seekers. Based on existing literature, the research article will present a conceptual model that will allow to highlight various ways job seekers are impacted by the different forms of recruitment practices. The sustainability of such practices will also be determined to understand whether it makes the job seekers worse off or better off in the future.
