Background of the Study
Talent acquisition is critical for building competitive teams that drive organizational success in banking. Zenith Bank has embraced advanced recruitment strategies, such as digital recruitment platforms, artificial intelligence (AI)–powered applicant tracking systems, and social media engagement, to attract and retain high-caliber talent (Adeleke, 2023). These modern methods enable the bank to streamline the recruitment process, reduce time-to-hire, and improve the quality of new hires by effectively matching candidate skills with job requirements. The bank’s recruitment strategy is designed not only to fill vacancies quickly but also to build teams that are agile, innovative, and aligned with its strategic objectives (Ikechukwu, 2024).
Research indicates that advanced recruitment techniques enhance overall team performance and contribute to competitive advantage by fostering a culture of excellence and innovation (Chinwe, 2023). However, challenges such as the integration of automated tools with traditional recruitment practices and potential biases in algorithmic screening can undermine these efforts. This study seeks to evaluate the impact of Zenith Bank’s advanced recruitment strategies on building competitive teams by analyzing recruitment metrics, employee performance data, and qualitative feedback from HR professionals. The goal is to identify best practices and propose improvements to further enhance talent acquisition outcomes.
Statement of the Problem
Despite implementing advanced recruitment strategies, Zenith Bank continues to experience challenges in building competitive teams. A primary issue is the misalignment between automated screening tools and the nuanced requirements of various roles, which can result in candidate mismatches (Emeka, 2023). Additionally, integration issues between new digital recruitment platforms and legacy HR systems lead to data inconsistencies and prolonged hiring cycles. These challenges can increase recruitment costs and negatively impact the overall quality of hires, ultimately affecting team performance and competitiveness. The study aims to determine whether current recruitment strategies are effectively contributing to competitive team building and to identify operational gaps that need to be addressed.
