Influence of Social Media on HR Practices: Recruitment, Engagement, and Employer Branding

Abstract

In today's digital age, social media has revolutionized the landscape of human resources practices, drastically influencing recruiting, engagement, and employer branding efforts.  Organisations may improve recruiting procedures, enhance employee engagement, and strengthen their employer brand through the unmatched potential offered by social media's influence on HR practices. But to get the most out of social media, you have to master its intricacies, follow best practices, and be flexible to keep up with the ever-changing digital trends. Attracting, engaging, and retaining top personnel in today's dynamic business environment can be challenging, but organisations who successfully utilise social media as a strategic tool in HR management will gain a competitive edge. An organization's ability to succeed and remain competitive in India's dynamic business environment depends on its ability to recruit, engage, and promote itself as an employer to a target audience. The advent of social media and its many useful applications in the realms of recruiting, employee engagement, and employer branding has caused a sea change in HR strategies and procedures. Successful social media marketing helps businesses recruit top people, increase engagement and retention, and establish a positive reputation as an employer. Organisations must, however, establish well-considered policies, procedures, and strategies to deal with the hazards and complications of social media use in HR. The main aim of the study is to investigate social media's influence on employer branding, engagement & recruitment.
