As social networking infrastructure begins to expand and become more widely used, the recruiting industry is provided with a complete picture of tremendous potential. Through engaging with talent on various social media platforms, recruiters are increasingly realizing the need for more innovative ways to improve the business plan. Thanks to social media's broad use, businesses are now aware of its potential as a marketing technique.

Nowadays, more companies employ e-recruitment platforms instead of traditional hiring methods. Additionally, more and more potential employees are using online job search and application processes. Nowadays, e-recruitment is being used by many companies of various kinds. But today, most companies utilize e-recruitment to post job positions, approve interview requests, and send out emails to potential candidates.

• The accessibility of internet access has led to a glut of online applications, making it difficult for hiring managers and companies to weed out unqualified candidates while choosing the suitable staff. Employers should exercise caution when defining job vacancies and be as clear as possible about the jobs and qualities they are seeking for in order to decrease the number of applications they receive. Most hiring procedures are handled online by businesses that might not even need testing. Interviews over the phone and in person are common, particularly for offshore companies. Because of certain cultural and contextual circumstances, hiring managers and recruiters are unable to ensure a candidate's professional ethics in this situation. Companies that post jobs online may have a lot of data, which could facilitate unethical hackers' access to the company's IT infrastructure.

Data Security and Privacy Concerns:

• Issues with data security and privacy are a significant barrier to the online employment sector. Online recruiting platforms are vulnerable to cyberattacks and data breaches due to the large volume of personal and professional data they manage, which may jeopardize candidate and company information.
