As the Information Technology industry evolves, e-recruitment emerges as a pivotal tool for sourcing talent. However, challenges like technological constraints and regulatory compliance hinder its effectiveness. This cross-sectional study delves into the discerned effectiveness of e-recruitment methods and the associated barriers encountered by Information Technology companies in the adoption of these practices. A robust dataset comprising responses from 537 participants actively involved in recruitment activities across various sectors of the Information Technology industry was collected through a structured questionnaire. The analysis employed descriptive statistics to summarize sample demographics, inferential statistics including correlation and regression analyses to test hypotheses, and Harman's single-factor test to determine common method variance. The study identified several key findings aligned with its research objectives. Firstly, it confirmed a constructive association between the discerned effectiveness of e-recruitment methods and their adoption by Information Technology companies. However, it also revealed that technological constraints negatively impact the perceived effectiveness of e-recruitment, highlighting a critical barrier in the adoption process. Additionally, the study uncovered a significant association between the availability of skilled Information Technology professionals and the effectiveness of e-recruitment methods utilized by Information Tec...
