dc.description.abstractDecades ago, Nigeria was known to be one of the richest countries in Africa because of her great petroleum reserves and large population. Ironically, Nigerian economy is now characterized by unemployment and poverty which more often result in social vices, such as community crisis/clashes, societal conflicts, and kidnapping. This called for action plans to combat these vices. Such action plans adopted in Kwara State Nigeria, is Kwara State Bridge Empowerment Scheme (KWABES). This study therefore assesses e-recruitment •in KWABES. The study population includes selected beneficiaries of the scheme. Both primary and secondary data were used to achieve the study objectives. The primary data were generated through administration of structured questionnaire and secondary data were sourced from KWABES records, electronic source and media. Histogram and Z-test statistical technique at +1.960 and -1.960 for acceptance or rejection of the study hypotheses were used to achieve the objectives of the study. Research findings show that there is positive effect of e-recruitment in KWABES on employment generation for the youth in the state. Also, the use of e-recruitment in KWABES has contributed significantly to the reduction of poverty in the state as a result of employment opportunities for the youth in the state. The study concluded based on findings that progress was made in terms of youth employment generation within the periods under study. The study therefore recommended that; KWABES should expand the scope of vacancies through e-recruitment by creating more jobs for youths in the state and to adequately specify the manpower requirements on the job advert portal.
