• What is  E-Recruitment and what is the benefits and drawbacks of e-recruitment?

• Answer:

  E-Recruitment refers to recruiting over the Internet. This can be done in multiple ways: Through the help of a recruitment/job search platform With online ads (see the ads on StackOverflow targeting programmers) With social networks (mostly LinkedIn but lately even Facebook and rarely, Twitter) On the company's website. This works if you have enough traffic and you need a system for accepting resumes or if you want to go the modern way and accept video resumes you need a software that takes care of that like the https://wordpress.org/plugins/pipe-video-recorder/ plugin for WordPress So this is e-recruitment. Now let's look at the benefits and drawbacks of this system. Benefits of e-recruitment: It saves a lot of time. Compare it to traditional recruitment, where to have to schedule interviews, meet candidates, schedule follow-up interviews and so on. With e-recruitment you only have one, final interview. It saves money. This again comes down to time and resources spent. It scales well. In e-recruitment once you have everything set up there's not much difference between interviewing 20 and 200 people. Try doing that in real life and see how it goes These days you'll see less and less queues outside the recruiter;s office simply because most candidates are pre-selected using online processes It's good for the candidates. No one likes wasting their time and interviewees minimize time waste by applying online. Some job search portals even let you apply just by clicking a button and this is awesome. Drawbacks of e-recruitment: It doesn't inflate manager egos like applicant queues do.
