Background of the Study
In today’s competitive financial services environment, talent acquisition is crucial for sustaining organizational growth and innovation. Zenith Bank has adopted modern recruitment techniques to enhance its talent acquisition process. These techniques include the use of digital recruitment platforms, artificial intelligence-driven applicant tracking systems, and social media engagement strategies (Adeleke, 2023). The bank’s strategy focuses on leveraging technology to reach a broader and more diverse pool of candidates while reducing time-to-hire and recruitment costs. Modern recruitment methods facilitate a data-driven approach to candidate screening and selection, allowing the bank to better match candidates’ skills with job requirements. Furthermore, these innovative techniques contribute to a positive employer brand, which is essential for attracting high-caliber talent in a competitive market (Ikechukwu, 2024).
Research indicates that the integration of modern recruitment techniques can significantly enhance the quality of new hires, leading to improved organizational performance and reduced employee turnover (Chinwe, 2023). However, challenges such as system integration with legacy HR software, potential biases in automated screening, and the need for continuous updates to recruitment platforms remain. This study aims to appraise the effectiveness of Zenith Bank’s modern recruitment techniques in talent acquisition by analyzing recruitment metrics, candidate quality, and HR efficiency. The goal is to identify best practices and potential pitfalls that could inform future recruitment strategies, ultimately ensuring that the bank maintains a competitive edge in talent management.
Statement of the Problem
Despite the adoption of advanced recruitment techniques, Zenith Bank faces challenges in consistently acquiring top talent. A primary issue is the misalignment between automated screening tools and the nuanced requirements of certain job roles, leading to potential candidate mismatches (Emeka, 2023). In addition, integration difficulties between new recruitment technologies and the bank’s legacy HR systems may result in data discrepancies and delayed processing. These challenges can increase recruitment costs and prolong the hiring process, ultimately affecting the bank’s ability to secure critical talent. Moreover, while digital platforms have broadened the reach of recruitment efforts, they also require continuous refinement to adapt to changing market conditions and candidate expectations. This study seeks to identify the operational challenges associated with modern recruitment techniques at Zenith Bank and to evaluate their overall impact on talent acquisition outcomes, aiming to provide actionable recommendations for optimizing the recruitment process.
