Sustainable Human Resource Management with a Focus on Corporate Employee Recruitment

Abstract

Sustainability principles are becoming an integral part of all aspects of business operations, including human resource management (HRM). Despite extensive research in the field of sustainability, there is a lack of focus on sustainable practices in the recruitment process. This article aims to identify opportunities for sustainable HRM with a focus on the recruitment of new employees in a company. The authors defined three research questions using the PICO method and subsequently applied PRISMA, bibliometric analysis, and content analysis methods to address them. The result is a proposal for a sustainable recruitment model, illustrated using the Milky Way Map framework. The model highlights the key areas of recruitment that need to be considered to achieve sustainable management of the recruitment process. The research emphasizes the importance of implementing a sustainable approach to recruitment. Information systems/information technology (IS/IT) plays a crucial role in optimizing recruitment processes and reducing negative environmental, social, and economic impacts. The implementation of the proposed model can bring benefits such as more efficient talent management, cost reduction, and enhanced sustainability.
