Green Recruitment Practices

Abstract

Today, scholars, governments, organisations, and practitioners from a variety of fields such as business, politics, and public policy have begun to show much interest in environmental issues. There exist different green HRM practices, but this chapter focuses on green recruitment practices. Green recruitment is the procedure of hiring people having behaviour, knowledge, and skills of environment management systems in the organisation. An important rationale behind green recruitment practices in most organisations is to reduce recruitment costs by automating the process and also make a green difference starting at the online career site. Green recruitment practices minimise energy use and pollution associated with manufacturing, transporting, and recycling paper products. Therefore, green recruitment practices should be supported by organisational policies and government regulatory frameworks.
