Descriptive statistical analysis was conducted, and Chi-square was used to analyze the approaches of Traditional and erecruitment for the job application process. Findings: The findings indicate that a high percentage of employees and employers' preference for online methods in job applications. However, the chi-square test reveals a discrepancy between the perspectives of employees and employers. Employees support the use of online methods, while employers reject the hypothesis that online application methods are effective.

Additionally, the lack of in-person interactions during the online application process can lead to frustration for job seekers and missed opportunities for employers to obtain or share more information. Originality: This study is arguably one of the leading studies that investigates the perceptions of employers and employees regarding the erecruitment process in Saudi Arabia. Its findings would be of great help to employers in improving the e-recruitment system.
