Abstract ABSTRACT-
In the modern business environment, talent acquisition has become a cornerstone of organizational success, with e-recruitment and poaching emerging as two prominent recruitment strategies. This study provides a comparative analysis of these methods, focusing on their digital efficiency, ethical considerations, and impact on organizational culture and employee retention. E-recruitment, driven by digital platforms such as LinkedIn, Indeed, and AI-powered tools, offers significant advantages in terms of cost-effectiveness, scalability, and access to a global talent pool. However, it also raises ethical concerns, particularly regarding algorithmic bias and transparency in candidate selection. On the other hand, poaching, the practice of recruiting employees from competitors, provides immediate access to skilled professionals but is fraught with legal and ethical risks, including breaches of non-compete clauses and potential damage to organizational culture.
Through a qualitative analysis of secondary data, this research evaluates the strengths and weaknesses of both recruitment methods. The findings highlight that while e-recruitment enhances efficiency through automation and data-driven insights, it requires careful management to avoid bias and ensure fairness. Poaching, while effective in acquiring experienced talent, can lead to legal disputes and a toxic workplace environment. The study concludes with recommendations for organizations to adopt hybrid recruitment strategies that balance the benefits of e-recruitment and poaching while addressing their ethical and legal challenges. By prioritizing transparency, diversity, and compliance, organizations can optimize their recruitment processes and foster a positive organizational culture.
Keywords E-recruitment, Poaching, Digital Efficiency, Ethical Considerations, Organizational Culture.
