Online recruitment is now a standard part of the recruitment process for many companies and organizations.

Online recruitment, e-recruitment, or web based recruitment is the use of online technology or the internet to attract candidates and aid the recruitment process. For most recruiters this usually means using one's own company website, a third-party job site or job board, a CV database or search engine marketing as part of the recruitment process.

The advantages of online recruitment

Cost effective
Putting a job vacancy a company website doesn’t costs much while putting one on a job board usually only costs a couple of hundred pounds. When a business considers that a recruitment consultant fee for a candidate could be anything up to 20% of the first year's salary, and that advertising in a national newspaper can cost thousands, they can immediately see the cost savings possible with online recruitment.

 

·          Online recruitment is quick
A job vacancy can be put on a job site in the morning, the first applications arrive by lunchtime, and a candidate interviewed by the end of the day. Of course, it isn't always like this. It isn't even often like this. But the fact that such things do happen so quickly gives an indication of just how quick recruiting online can be.

Online recruitment gives you a better chance of success 

The success of a vacancy advertisement depends on people happening upon the ad on a particular page in a particular issue. Online recruitment is different. A job vacancy advertisement on a job board or website is there 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, for as long as a business desires. Candidates can come back to it again and again. From office administrator to Financial Director: they are all online.

  

Online recruitment gives you a bigger audience 

Many people new to online recruitment think that using job sites is only effective if you are looking for young net-savvy Facebook-type people. Research consistently shows that the average age of candidates using job sites is around 35 years old. And the trend is up. Online recruitment is now a standard part of most people's job hunting no matter what level or age.

  

Online recruitment is easy 

Posting a job on your own site is straightforward enough. Most job sites and CV databases are very user-friendly and you don't need to have an in-depth knowledge of IT to post a vacancy advertisement. Usually, all you need is your job description, a bit of time and a credit card. And, if you have any problems the job board sales team to help you. 

The disadvantages of online recruitment   

It won't always work 

Not every job vacancy you post can or will be filled online. There will always be difficult-to-fill jobs that can only be filled by recruitment consultants. However, most companies tend to hire for pretty standard job roles so this is seldom an issue. And with more and more job seekers choosing the internet to look for jobs, and more and more job sites and job boards specialising in ever more diverse areas, those difficult-to-fill jobs are becoming fewer and fewer

Online recruitment offers clear advantages over traditional recruitments methods. At the same time, however, one must be cognisant of the disadvantages inherent in online recruitment if only to avoid the pitfalls that they may produce.
