Human Resources Recruiting and Staffing

After Dr. Roya class, I have clearly understands what is Human Resource Recruiting and Staffing. E-Recruitment is the one of the example of recruiting system that was used by the company nowadays. E-Recruitment system which is stands for online job application and processing system for employers to advertise their job opening and for candidates to submit their application via the internet. E-Recruitment are also the process of personnel recruitment using electronic resources in particular the internet.

                                                      

As officer of HR who will use the system e-recruitment is important to know the components of online recruitment, which are input, HRIS database and Output. In input, the organization have to make a details for the requirement that need by vacancy position, then, it would go for HRIS database where the data provided by organization being stored in the database. Once it been keep in database, we can see the output which is it appear on the recruiting subsystem, which advertise the requirement that the organization need thus will help the applicant see the information given.

E-Recruitment is very good for the organization to implement this system in order to do recruiting and staffing process. According to Lukaszewski K.M, Dickter D.N, Lyons B.D, and Kehoe J.F, (2011), using online recruitment can save 95% of recruitment cost other than traditional method. However, the issue is, for some of the company, online recruitment not suitable. It would generate a lot number of resumes compared to the number of vacancy. This would be burden for the management to screening all of the application.

It is important issues that we have to think whether this online recruitment are actually win-win situation or not for the job applicants and organization itself? The advantages of online recruitment is cost effective, quick, gives you a better chance of success, gives you a bigger audience and easy or very user-friendly. However, it is have their own disadvantages such as, to many candidates and it won’t always work, that mean 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, headhunters or in other ways.

Online recruitment or e-recruitment offers clear advantages over traditional recruitments methods. At the same time, however, the disadvantages inherent in online recruitment if only to avoid the pitfalls that they may produce.
