e-Recruitment

E-recruitment, also known as online recruitment, is the use of technology to attract and recruit candidates.

 

E-recruitment has the potential to:

• reduce recruitment costs
• speed up the recruitment cycle and streamline administration
• allow organisations to make use of IT systems to manage vacancies more effectively and co-ordinate recruitment processes
• reach a wide pool of applicants
• reach a niche pool of applicants
• make internal vacancies widely known across multiple sites and separate divisions
• provide the image of an up-to-date organisation, reinforcing employer branding and giving an indication of organisation culture
• offer access to vacancies 24 hours a day, 7 days a week reaching a global audience
• be a cost effective way to build a talent bank for future vacancies
• help handle high volume job applications in a consistent way
• provide more tailored information on the post and organisation, for example, case histories of a ‘day in the life’ or self-assessment questionnaire or quiz to assess fit with role
• be spontaneous for candidates as ease of use means there is the ability for applications to be instataneous
• build up a picture of your target audience to support your attraction strategy.
