RECRUITMENT AND SELECTION IN AN INTERNET CONTEXT



On this chapter, now I understand the relationship between internet and recruitment of new employees. The main objective of recruitment is to attract and hire qualified job applicants for company’s productivity. In the mean time by applying e-recruitment, the company able to attract diversified background of job applicants. Thus, the company able to attract some qualified people.

There are several benefits of using e-recruitment which are minimize the cost of filling job openings, reduce time and increase efficiency in the process of gathering and sorting data. Many research conducted had proved these matters. By using e-recruitment, the company also able to reach mass of targets and the chances to get qualified applicants is bigger. However, there are also several disadvantages of using the systems which are systems breakdown, fraud and information overload where there are too many applicants, especially unqualified applicants.

The company must also ensure that the website is easy and user friendly. The website also incorporates secure and protective application in order to avoid hacking activities. It is also beneficial for the company to receive feedback from job applicants about the systems for systematic review and improvements.
From my readings, I also understand that from the system, employers not only gain the personal information of the applicants, but they also able to attach several assessment tools such as knowledge test, ability test, personality test and so on. This is to ensure that the company meets with the quality of applicants they want. However, there are several test that need to be done face-to-face such knowledge test, skills and ability test in order to avoid cheating.

Now, I realized that by using the system to recruit and select new employees, the company able to reach with many qualified job applicants. But, several considerations must take into this matter as not everything can be done by virtually. There are several matters that need to be assess lively to ensure that employers hire a good worker.
