What is e-recruitment?

the use of technology to attract and recruit

when the employer can view and download
them later

market place

pool
E-recruitment methods

 Some of the e-recruitment methods are:


Job boards: are websites where the employers post
jobs and search for candidates

Employer web site: is the company’s owned


website

Professional websites: These are for specific


professions, skills and not general in nature
How will e-recruitment work?
• Applicants will search for vacancies on websites and
they can view the Position Description and complete an
online application form and attach their CV.
• They will receive an immediate email
acknowledgement.
• Immediately following lodgment of an application, and
any other documentation, can be viewed by the
employer.
• Successful applicants will be notified by email for
further procedures.
• Unsuccessful applicants will be notified by email
Advantages of using e-recruitment
• Reducing recruitment costs
• Time saving device
• Widens the search
• Building a talent bank for future vacancies
• Allow organizations to make use of IT systems
to manage vacancies more effectively and co-
ordinate recruitment processes
Disadvantages of using e-recruitment
• People may lack access to computers or do
not have the skills necessary to use online
recruitment.
• Candidates are not attracted to badly designed
websites or technical difficulties are encountered
• It is not convenient for recruiting top management.
• It could create a huge volume of unqualified
candidates.
Organizations may use a mix of traditional and
online methods depending on what meets their
strategic recruitment needs. The purpose of both
is to fill a vacant position with the best fit
candidate, cost-effectively and on time
