The digitalization of recruitment processes is becoming a key factor in the transformation of public administration, enabling the modernization of outdated approaches to personnel selection and enhancing the efficiency of the civil service. Therefore, purpose of this study to summarize the leading international models of digital recruitment and to develop an integrated concept that combines technological, procedural, ethical, and social principles to improve the effectiveness of human resource management in the public sector. The research methodology is based on a comparative-analytical approach to modern digital recruitment models proposed by foreign experts. Additionally, methods of system analysis, modeling, deduction, generalization, and regulatory-legal analysis of Ukrainian legislation were applied. This methodological framework made it possible to construct a synergistic model of adapted digital recruitment suitable for Ukraine’s institutional context. The research findings of the study revealed that existing models tend to focus on specific aspects such as technical security, sustainable development, algorithmic neutrality, or analytical typology. In response, the «Ukrainian Resilience-Oriented e-Recruitment Model» was developed to ensure replicability of recruitment competitions across regions, enable remote verification of candidate’s education and experience, eliminate subjective evaluations, and create equal access opportunities for citizens including veterans, internally displaced persons (IDPs), and young professionals. Its structural logic envisions interaction with state registers, AI-based resume parsing systems and ESG modules for assessing motivation and value orientation of candidates. Value of the research of the study lies in the fact that the «Ukrainian Resilience-Oriented e-Recruitment Model» has the potential to transform digital recruitment into an open personnel ecosystem of Ukraine within the framework of public administration.
