Monday, November 10, 2008 10:01
In this modern age, the popularity of computers has changed the traditional practice of many businesses. For example, online job recruitment sites are being adopted by increasing head hunting companies nowadays. It forms the key pillar of a smart staffing strategy for companies in every economic sector.
The widespread arrival of this approach has revolutionized the entire recruitment landscape. Both employers and job seekers could have benefited from on-line recruitment alike.
There are countless benefits and rewards the approach has brought forward. The most apparent one is the vastly improved degree of recruitment process. Through every phase of the recruitment process, an on-line system can help ease a more streamlined, standardized approach than the traditional, paper-based approach. A lot of manual tasks, like sorting, coding, filing, and routing application materials, can then be automatically performed. As a result, the efficiency of making hiring decisions could be greatly enhanced.
Then, this efficiency in recruitment contributes to another major benefit of online recruitment, which is the cost-effectiveness. According to many studies and industry surveys, it’s shown that the recruitment costs of most companies have decreased sharply after the shift to the on-line recruitment.
Thirdly, on-line recruitment is quick. A job vacancy can be answered by many applications almost immediately. For example, if the advertisement about qualified accountant jobs is post in the morning, the first applications can arrive before lunch time. Great convenience has been brought forward, as the applications like qualified accountant jobs, instant “fit” assessments, skill-based evaluations, and other metrics can be administered instantly to candidates on the Internet.
Fourthly, it is undeniable that the use of on-line systems has widened the accessibility of recruiting information. It has vastly expanded the scope of recruitment functions and job search resources.
Last but not least, as the on-line recruitment is more effective, less risk are posed to both the candidates and clients.
