I. INTRODUCTION

In the past, the main emphasis of most companies has been on production and sales, but owing to changes in the business environment, the paradigm has shifted. Recruitment, selection, and placement of workers are the most important aspects of human resource management, therefore companies are looking for better and more sustainable methods. Increasingly, businesses are implementing green recruiting methods in order to improve their overall efficiency and effectiveness. People that have environmental management abilities, knowledge, and behaviors in a company are hired via green recruiting. In the opinion of Wehrmeyer (1996), this type of recruiting may assist businesses in achieving high levels of efficiency and environmental stewardship by ensuring that newly hired employees are aware of the firm’s environmental culture and are able to uphold the firm’s environmental principles. Firms whose primary aim is environmental preservation, protection, and corporate ecological balance have adopted green human resource management practices. The acquisition of human capital has been the focus of business organizations in recent years. Since the enterprise’s goal cannot be accomplished without the employees’ help, they are crucial to the organization’s existence.
Companies have also shifted from the conventional technique of recruiting to e-recruiting to remain competitive in the digital era, as many organizations are moving to e-recruitment. It is increasingly important for an organization’s capacity to compete in the global talent market to be able to attract and acquire top-notch people quickly.
