This qualitative exploratory case study explored the problem of how higher education institutions' human resource professionals use social media in the recruitment and hiring process. Open-ended interviews with ten participants were conducted using Zoom platform, transcribed, and thematically analyzed using NVivo application. The findings indicated that human resource professionals prefer LinkedIn because of its professionalism and access to a large pool of eligible candidates. Other trendier platforms such as Instagram and Tik-Tok were used as well, especially for targeting younger employees. Regarding how social media is used in the hiring process, the results showed that human resource professionals could use social media to advertise the available jobs, screen, and interact with prospective candidates. Human resource professionals face various challenges such as conservative nature of the hiring organizations, concerns regarding authenticity of the profiles, potential occurrence of biases and unfairness when using the platforms, and limited information on how social media use impacts on successful hiring and recruitment. Human resource professionals need training and support in the form of well-structured standard guidelines to address the challenges and achieve consistency in the use of social media in the recruitment and hiring process. The study concluded that social media provides tools human resource professionals could use to carry out pre-employment background checks during hiring and recruitment. There is a need to address the risk of illegal recruitment practices and facilitate continuous training and the development of standard guidelines.
