Manuscript Data Set.xlsx

This dataset was collected as part of a quantitative study investigating the gap between industry expectations and student preparedness in digital talent acquisition skills within the HR domain. Data was gathered through two structured Likert-scale questionnaires administered to 77 business/management students and 39 HR/talent acquisition professionals. The dataset captures perceptions of digital recruitment practices, including proficiency in Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS), HRIS platforms, AI-based tools, data analytics, and foundational digital literacy. The data supports statistical comparisons (independent samples t-tests) between the two groups to quantify the skills gap and provide insights for curriculum modernization and industry training practices.
