Technological innovation fostered by the use of the Internet and social networks in the business context requires the modification of the human resources (HR) management process to use the opportunities to obtain a sustainable competitive advantage. This paper analyzes the opportunities provided by technological innovation, which allows for the development of a new e-recruitment and selection process to access and attract valuable HR regardless of their geographical location. Adapting the traditional selection process, companies can incorporate new 2.0 selection techniques that generate an extraordinary improvement opportunity in human resource management. Given the need for members of the human resources department to master new technologies in order to maximize the benefits of e-recruitment and selection, the aim of this work is to carry out a case study in a leading company in the mechanical engineering sector. To this end, we will start by reviewing the literature. Then, the work offers a model of HR management considering the influence of technological innovation on the attraction of valuable human resources, integrating the previous theoretical contributions of experts in the field. Based on the observation of the case study, the results show the main factors, human resource practices, and management results and behaviors undertaken by a multinational company. The case study allows researchers to learn from professionals and business leaders and presents a roadmap that can be used to manage e-recruitment and selection.

Human resource managers (HRMs) can use electronic-human resource management (E-HRMs) tools to improve human resources practices, including recruitment and selection of employees. Grounded in the theoretical framework of a unified theory of acceptance (UTAUT), this present qualitative case study investigated the potential barriers that influence the implementation and use of E-HRMs in Thailand's business sector. Human resource professionals from the business sector, including hotels in Thailand, were the study participants. Semi-structured interviews with open-ended questions were used as data collection instruments. Qualitative data collected was analyzed using thematic content analysis. The challenges impact the recruitment and selection process by making the employment process complex and poor selection of employees. HRMs should support E-HRMs as the advanced technologies to improve recruitment and selection of competent employees. In conclusion, E-HRMs are effective information systems that support electronic recruitment and selection of qualified employees.

Human resources and knowledge play an important role in the today’s fast-changing world. Human resource optimization is achieved when human resources are aligned with key organizational initiatives to maximize business performance. Talented people are the future of every business. Leading and developing the potential of talented employees should be on the agenda of every modern business. Businesses that know what globalization brings try to attract talented people as talented people are playing an increasingly important role in all sectors, thus confirming that talent management is becoming the fastest growing global human resource management trend. Many businesses realize that they must relocate their business, sometimes even across borders, to succeed. Working with talent must be a top priority for businesses, as talent needs to be constantly developed and managed. The aim of the paper is to define the basic concepts related to the acquisition, management and development of talents at the theoretical level and to point out the importance of talent management as it is becoming an important global trend. Based on the survey we carried out and literature available, the main objective of the paper is to identify key roles and responsibilities that talented employees take upon, to specify a set of requirements placed upon talented employees and to identify factors determining the ability of a business to attract talents.

<p class="0abstract">In this paper, the authors explore the potential of the electronic portfolio (ePortfolio) as a recruitment tool, in particular whether Human Resources directors would be willing to use it during the recruitment and selection process. The ePortfolio presents, documents, reflects on, and fosters students’ skills, credentials, certificates and diverse formal and informal experiences in a structured and well-organized manner. Because the ePortfolio is, by nature, flexible and adaptable, an ePortfolio developed with the help of professors over the course of a students' studies can easily be incorporated into professional networking platforms as a job search tool and showcase the skills required for a successful applicant. It is often said that the difference between what is taught in the academic world and the practical skills that are required by the business sector make it difficult for students to access the labor market. The ePortfolio may help to reconcile both worlds. In order to examine whether Human Resources directors are willing to use an ePortfolio as a recruitment tool, a survey was carried out among fifty-two Human Resources directors. The research findings reveal that an educational ePortfolio can count on significant approval in the business sector. This research study is relevant as it provides valuable information on this topic and it is the only one to date, conducted among HR directors in the context of Spanish-speaking countries.</p>

Over the years , Information System has advanced so much that we are able to operate better in an organization which is better than what used to happen in the past. Information Systems derived from the term data processing. The purpose of Information Systems is to provide efficient and reliable ways on how to perform functions in an organization. Computers have important role in evolution of Information System. There have been a lot of applications of Information System in the organizations today including human resource operation as the main field of concern, accounting and  finance, logistics and planning among others. Internet is the recent development in the use of Information.  Studies have been carried out on Information System and its application but none of the studies have looked at the role Information System plays in typical organizational operational functions especially in the Human Resource Operations. This therefore leaves the gap in research that this paper sought to breach. The study is conducted through analysis of literature review from journals, and surveys. The paper therefore recommends that organizations should apply Information Systems in Human Resources operations  in order to reap these benefits.

In any organization, managing human talent is very important and need more attentions from Human Resource (HR) professionals. Nowadays, among the challenges of HR professionals is to manage an organization’s talent, especially to ensure the right person is assigned to the right job at the right time. Knowledge Discovery in Database (KDD) is a data analysis approach that is commonly used for classification and prediction; and this approach has been widely used in many fields such as manufacturing, development, finance and etc. However, this approach has not attracted people in human resource especially for talent management. For this reason, this paper presents an overview of some talent management problems that can be solved by using KDD approach. In this study, we attempt to implement one of the talent management tasks i.e. identifying potential talent by predicting their performance. The employee’s performance can be predicted based on the past experience knowledge which is discovered from existing databases. Finally, this paper proposes the suggested framework for talent management using KDD approach.

In managing the rapidly changing environment context, human resources and talents are probably the only organisational resource that managers can resort to, in their pursuit of sustainably steering the organisation through the turbulent course, including the one of the COVID-19 pandemic now. Managers should push forward organisational manoeuvres to manage their human resource development (HRD) function by embodying strategic factors in a commensurate manner. It requires them to strategize the way they train and develop their human resources and talents; that is, the process of strategic HRD. Therefore, this paper reviewed the past literature to identify the strategic HRD factors, which are the organisational manoeuvres essential to manage HRD strategically. Based on the critical deliberations on the previous literature, it infers that there are seven key strategic factors that strategize HRD in an organisation. It helps build an agile, resilient organisation that can sustain in both normal and crisis times.
