Abstract

Recruitment and selection are one of the most performed practices in companies by the human resources sector. Currently, organizations are increasingly reinventing themselves and updating their methods with the advancement of technology. This chapter aimed to investigate the impact of the digital age on the recruitment and selection process within organizations. Through the literature review, we sought to point out the advantages and disadvantages of the online recruitment and selection process through digital platforms and social networks. The results allowed us to conclude that organizations are employing new technologies and using social networks to recruit people, and that this occurrence has everything to expand in the coming years. It has been proven that the recruitment and selection procedures on the internet enable time and cost savings, however the excess of information presents a lack of reliability for recruiters. Social networks are seen by companies as a complement to information and not as a substitute for other traditional recruitment and selection methods.
