Organizations, including educational institutions, which need to do any form of recruitment should thus be encouraged to use online recruitment which will give the company more advantages and enable the human resource management tactics to prosper Kirkby, Wilson, Calvert, & Draper, 2011()
Conclusion
Every company has its own set of needs and criteria for recruitment. However, since online recruitment provides advantages which cut across the needs of all different companies or organizations, online recruitment is the way to go for these companies. Among the advantages of online recruiting are the cost savings, time savings and the global reach of candidates. There is also one disadvantage of increasing the number of applications received which is essentially an advantage since the more the applications, the better the chances of getting a more suitable candidate for the job. With online recruitment, human resource personnel can have more time on their hands to do more tasks such as human resource planning and human resource development.
