The Importance of e-Recruitment within a Smart Government Framework

Abstract

This literary review examines the current state of research in the field of e-recruitment within the framework of smart government and its implementation in the context of modern public services. We elucidate the concepts of “smart government” as a concept of efficient, technologically supported public administration, and “electronic recruitment” as a process utilizing digital tools in the search and acquisition of suitable candidates for job vacancies. The objective of this review is to provide a brief overview of the current state of smart government, e-HRM (electronic human resource management), and e-recruitment, and analyze their interconnection. The selection of relevant sources followed the PRISMA method. In the context of defining the key functional module of e-HRM, the Grounded Theory Method (GTM) was employed. The final part of the methodological approach involved designing a research problem for future research. Specifically, the review focuses on defining the key functional module of e-HRM and proposes an orientation for future research that should concentrate on the impacts of e-recruitment on the efficiency of human resources within public services. The results of this study can serve as a foundation for future research aimed at optimizing and utilizing e-recruitment in the specific field of smart government.
