This study adopts a descriptive and qualitative research design, relying on secondary data from published articles, reports, and case studies to analyze the impact of social media on recruitment. The findings reveal that social media enhances employer branding, expands the reach of recruitment, and allows recruiters to assess candidates beyond résumés, while job seekers benefit from transparency and direct interaction with employers.
