Purpose: The act of hiring a new employee may have significant repercussions for an organization on both the ethical and legal fronts. Let’s compile a list of some of the most prevalent ethical considerations and conundrums that human resource professionals confront throughout the recruiting process.
Design/Methodology/Approach: A survey of the current literature discovered various areas of significance for both scholastics and recruiting executives and other employees. This is conceptual literature-based research. This was done with the intention of better identifying the concepts that impact employment selection ethics and hiring practices. Previous scholars have asserted that the moral duty, diversity, antidiscrimination, integrity, and employment justice all play a role in the hiring anytime new people is being brought on board.
Findings/Result: Mindfulness and activity here will prompt inspiring elements that may influence attitudes, while ethical hiring practices will be allowed to create the culture of the organization. This article provides a concept of knowing that when institutions apply stated ethical hiring criteria, employers are more likely to attract and hire ethical applicants. This dichotomy of knowledge is presented in the form of a paradox. This conception gives rise to the presumption that managers are required to fulfill the organization of ethical gatekeepers for the organizations to which they belong.
Originality/Value: A comprehensive examination of Ethics in Human Resource Management as a Case of considerations and conundrums that human resource professionals confront throughout the recruiting process will enable to empower as we are lacking corporate culture here in Nepal highlights the empirical assessment on the issues in depth.
