Recruiting Procedures and Eligibility Requirements in the IT Industry

Abstract

This academic research investigation was done with the purpose of analyzing the role of internal and external recruiting and hiring practices in Karachi IT companies. This study intended to assist in understanding the prerequisites of both internal and external recruitment procedures. This study also looks at the limitations of using an external recruitment procedure rather than an internal one in IT enterprises in Karachi. During this study, the interpretive paradigm was used to answer research questions. In this context, IT companies in Lahore are focusing on staff sizes bigger than 100. The current study's sample size is based on ten IT companies. Individuals studied range in age from 21 to 40 years old, with income range from 25,000 to 200,000. The study's sample size is approximately 200 respondents. The questionnaire was used as a data collection tool in this study, and the regression approach was chosen as a method of data analysis and investigation. The findings of this study show that both internal and external recruitment models have significant results in understanding the function of degree of competency, level of experience, HR department structure, and cost of hiring in determining the selection of either strategy in talent acquisition. This study discovered that cost of hiring and level of experience play a significant and negative role in determining external hiring of employees for vacant positions in IT firms in Pakistan, whereas level of experience, cost of hiring, and level of competency play a significant and positive role in determining internal hiring of employees for vacant positions in IT firms in Pakistan.
