This study aims to examine the influence of e-recruitment and employee referral on employee competence, both partially and simultaneously, among production employees at PT Andira Agro Tbk. This study uses a quantitative approach. Primary data were obtained by distributing Likert-scale questionnaires to all production employees, with a total of 83 respondents selected using the total sampling (census) technique. Data analysis was performed using instrument tests, classical assumption tests, multiple linear regression, t-test, F-test, and coefficient of determination. The results indicate that simultaneously, the variables of e-recruitment (X₁) and employee referral (X₂) contribute 49.8% to employee competence (Y). Partially, the e-recruitment variable has a significant negative effect, while the employee referral variable has a significant positive effect on employee competence. These findings recommend implementing a hybrid recruitment strategy by strengthening the referral system. Although e-recruitment has a negative impact, this method should still be maintained for initial administrative efficiency, provided that it is combined with physical face-to-face evaluations and direct technical interviews at the factory.
