e-Recruitment, or online recruitment, involves an integrated recruitment system that harnesses technology, the Internet, and database software to manage multiple candidates. Doing so allows a company to filter through the large number of applications received and produce a viable population of candidates for a job.
Because of the automation involved, e-Recruitment can leverage five significant business benefits almost immediately. These include:
– Cost savings
– Recruiting speed
– More successful hires
– Reach more talent
– Improved experience for all involved
Here, we’ll expand on each point to see how recruiters are benefiting from e-Recruitment software.
Cost Savings
By managing hiring through an e-Recruitment platform, a business saves money by avoiding costs related to in-person travel, mail application handling, internal tracking and management, as well as third party job listing fees. The software is employed directly into the company’s website. The only major expense involved is the software and the initial set up costs.
Recruiting Speed
With e-Recruitment software, zoning in on the right talent is a process made fast and easy. Since qualified applicants are already in the resume database, it’s simple to find the best potential matches for job openings. The process goes even faster when these job postings are also linked to social media sites such as Twitter, LinkedIn and Facebook.
More Successful Hires
The traditional hiring process involves posting job openings through internal bulletins or classifieds in newspapers. Overall, it’s a lot of paperwork and a method subject to error. With recruitment management software, the search for the right candidate is refined in a systematic way. New job opening announcements can be disseminated quickly, online, to a much more targeted candidate pool.
The result:
– A greater range of appropriate candidates
– Finding the best potential match for the job
Reach More Talent
Because e-Recruitment leverages the Internet, the audience limitation is technically endless. Anybody from Southern California to New York to Dubai can effectively apply.
Improved Experience For All
The main ingredients needed to cook up a talented team with e-Recruitment are:
1) A good job description that clearly communicates expectations, company direction, and adheres to all necessary labour laws
2) Proper training on how to use e-recruiting software
Quality vendors offer both e-Recruitment and ongoing personnel review tools. Performance appraisal tools by Halogen Software as well as their e-Recruitment software suite, are one such example.
