Recruiting the Online Way

Online recruitment offers recruiters one of the most powerful and cost-effective ways to recruit staff for an organization. Success in online recruitment depends very little on the vagaries of the internet and very much on careful planning and a clear recruitment strategy. Online recruitment, e-recruitment, or web-based recruitment is the use of online technology to attract and source candidates and aid the recruitment process. What this usually means is the use of a company’s own website, a third-party job site or job board, a CV database, search engine marketing or social media platforms to fill vacancies. The emergence of Information, communication and technology has necessitated the need for professionally qualified and talented people in the Information technology (IT) sector. The astounding sector growth in recent years has created a demanded for personnel at various operational levels, from the tech geniuses to the routine maintenance staff. As the reach of IT is not confined to any particular industry, the sector overlaps with all other sectors including banking, finance, accounting, insurance, legal, etc. The industry also encompasses various fields including voice processing units, telephone technology, wireless technology, cellular technology, satellite communication systems etc. 

The careers area of a corporate website is one of the most-visited areas of a website. With this in mind, the use of a careers area in a company’s own website as an online recruitment resource is now a common practice for many. In its most basic form, the careers area is often simply a listing of vacancies in your company with details of how to apply etc. However, many companies invest in more extensive careers areas where in addition to their job vacancies they can also promote their company as a place to work, outline the company ethos and culture, detail employee benefits, feature “day in the life” articles about typical employees, have recruitment videos and even online recruitment fairs.

For job seekers, job sites make searching for jobs much easier. Rather than having to trawl hundreds of employer websites, job seekers can find lots of vacancies in one place. Job sites and job boards will usually provide daily emails of new jobs, Twitter updates, RSS feeds of new opportunities, or SMS’s of new vacancies. Most job sites and job boards allow job seekers to create online profiles and/or upload their CVs so that recruitment agencies and employers can view them. Job sites also provide other services to job seekers such as careers advice, web forums, salary surveys etc.

For recruiters, job boards offer an easy and cost-effective way to reach active candidates. Recruiters simply upload their vacancies and publish them on the job board for candidates to find. Many job boards now also offer simple candidate management tools and resources to help make a success of job posting. Online recruitment offers clear advantages over traditional recruitments methods. At the same time, however, one must remember that it is still recruitment. The fact that it is cheaper and quicker than other forms of recruitment does not change anything. No matter what size your company, make sure that you have the best possible recruitment process in place before you begin. If you do, you will have a much better chance of online recruitment success.
