Abstract

Human Resource recruitment has become one of the most important strategic functions in contemporary organisations. Rapid
technological advancements, globalization, changing workforce expectations, and increasing competition for skilled talent have
created several recruitment challenges for organizations. Traditional recruitment practices are often unable to meet the dynamic
requirements of modern business environments, leading to issues such as talent shortages, lengthy hiring processes, rising recruitment
costs, skill mismatches, and employee turnover. To overcome these challenges, organisations are increasingly adopting innovativerecruitment solutions such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS), social media recruitment, virtual interviews, data analytics, and employer branding strategies. The present study focuses on identifying the major HR recruitment challenges faced by contemporary organisations and examining the effectiveness of innovative recruitment solutions in improving recruitment efficiency and organizational performance. The study is based on both primary and secondary data collected from HR professionals and relevant academic sources. Statistical tools such as percentage analysis, charts, and hypothesis testing are used for data interpretation. The findings reveal that innovative recruitment practices significantly improve hiring quality, reduce recruitment time, enhance candidate experience, and support better decision- making. The study concludes that organizations must adopt technology-driven and strategic recruitment approaches to remain competitive in the modern labour market
