Abstract

The digital transformation of recruitment has rendered online job portals indispensable instruments in the talent acquisition strategies of staffing organizations. This study investigates the effectiveness of Foundit (formerly Monster India) as a primary candidate sourcing platform at Skylark HR Solutions Pvt Ltd, a recruitment and staffing services firm. A structured questionnaire survey was administered to 100 respondents comprising HR professionals, talent acquisition specialists, and recruiters. The study evaluates tool effectiveness across dimensions including ease of use, candidate quality, time-saving capability, shortlisting rates, and overall satisfaction. Key findings indicate that Naukri and Foundit are the dominant job boards, with a mean overall tool satisfaction score of 3.71 out of 5. Approximately 68% of respondents affirmed that AI-based recruitment tools enhance hiring efficiency. Persistent challenges include inadequate candidate profile quality, high subscription costs, and irrelevant applicant submissions. Strategic recommendations are provided to optimize candidate sourcing through Foundit and allied digital platforms.
