The ever-increasing digitalization in today's business processes—and incredibly fast-growing markets—have created a more competitive business environment. And, this more competitive business environment has led companies to be more demanding regarding the employee qualifications as well as the quality of tasks carried out by these employees. Moreover, this change process has rendered the traditional human resources management methods inadequate, further digitizing the field of human resources. In this study, the authors examine the handling of recruitment functions within human resources management and the digitization process. Furthermore, they discuss both the basic dynamics of the e-recruitment processes, the tools of e-recruitment, as well as its advantages and disadvantages.

The current business environment, characterized by a high degree of uncertainty and unpredictability, has led to a sharp increase in competitiveness. The key to the success of any organization in the current period lies in its human resources, the only ones capable of identifying unique and creative solutions to face the threats existing in the environment and to seize existing opportunities. Emphasis should be placed on transforming them and the Human Resources Department into true strategic partners of organizations and on implementing a strategic human resources management. The present paper aims to identify the extent to which, at the level of the organizations from the Western Region of Romania, such elements have been adopted that will contribute to their competitive development. The textile industry is an important sector that has powerful impact over the economic and social development of a region or country. Its long term development depends not only on the business characteristics, but especially on the strategic decisions and approaches, with direct results in terms of profitability, jobs creation and integration with other economic sectors. Therefore, in our research we introduced in the sample companies from this dynamic field. The results of the study showed that the tendency of appreciation of their existence in organizations is wide spread. In the same time, it was confirmed that the existence of a strategic human resources management in organizations is conditioned by the strategic use of human resources practices, in the long term, in order to contribute to the achievement of the general business objectives. Also, in order for the human resources strategy to bring its contribution to the realization of the general business strategy, there is a need for human resources activities that are aligned with the company’s objectives. Without claiming that the study carried out is an exhaustive one, we consider that the information presented are unique and can be useful for those interested.

The world we live in has countless organizations that are born, grow or disappear. The use of human resources is very common and essential for all types of organizations at all times. They ensure the survival and tryingness of the organization in today's dynamic business environment. The investment in human resources means not only the regular salary payments but also employees' personal and professional development in order to enhance their job skills and act responsibly when necessary. The traditional approach to human resources management implies only the costs for the job performed. The unique values of human resources imply both the ability of personal and professional development and the desire of self-improvement as standards of the modern world require. Work evaluation can have a negative impact and that happens when the manager considers the employee, as individual, accountable for bad job performance and does not take an account of the weak areas of performance evaluation and control.
