My question is can that be considered as a Project Management? Saving Changes...

If you are considering a project the whole process, part of the process, or when running a process and you are managing it then you are a project manager. Then other side is what definition of project and project manager you take (from what organization) to measure it. Saving Changes...
It's a temporary endeavour undertaken to create a unique product, service or result. A project is temporary in that it has a defined beginning and end in time, and therefore defined scope and resources.
So, what you are doing comes under project banner for sure Saving Changes...

Thank you very much! I am pretty new to project management so i appreciate that you took the time to explain it to me! Saving Changes...
The first or second time you hire someone it might be considered a project, but even then if your firm has an established process for recruiting it would be an operational process.
Just because something has a start/end, consumes resources and possesses some uncertainty doesn't mean we should treat it as a project as the overhead costs of project management might not be justified.
Purely technically, I guess every job requisition you fill *is* an individual project (it's temporary, it provides a service, there is a defined end result in filling a position).
But is that project being managed? That is the question to ask. What are the steps taken against each of the knowledge areas? In each of the process groups?
I would suggest looking up the matrix of these elements on this site and measuring those aspects against everything you do when conducting your recruitment. See how much applies.
(NB: There have been cases where specific recruitment assignments - especially for niche skills - can been treated as projects. For fun examples, see Akira Kurosawa's Seven Samurai or the derivatives of this excellent film.)
