Having developed a recruitment and selection policy that draws the top talents, every organization has to find a way to keep them in the organization. This paper highlights progress in human resource management practices regarding recruitment and selection. Effective ways like employment branding, skills-based methodologies, and data-informed decision-making could enhance the equity and efficiency of hiring processes. This study is about how technological advancements would affect recruitment, as well as diversity and inclusion programs, and how strategic human resource management influences the results of recruitment. An organization will now be able to devise a strategic recruitment plan by which the human resource practices have been proven against business goals, ensuring that competitive advantage will accrue in securing the necessary talent. The derived findings present the best methods and approaches that shall be followed by human resource managers to have a successful recruitment plan and implementation, thus leading organizations toward realizing their strategic objectives.
