It also aimed to address the research questions: (1) What is the status of recruitment and selection practices during COVID-19? (2) How is ICT utilized in the recruitment and selection process? (3) What are industry responses on online recruitment and selection? (4) What are the challenges encountered by organizations in the use of ICT during the pandemic? (5) What are the strategies and recommendations to improve the use of ICT beyond the pandemic crisis? Extant literature was investigated to shed light on how the utilization of ICT is sustainable not only during the pandemic but even beyond. Key findings of the study outline the importance of the different online platforms in recruiting and selecting the workforce.
