Abstract:
The aim of this research was to determine the effectiveness and future potential of online recruitment from an employers' perspective. The literature published has been restricted mainly to computer software developers and computer companies. As a result it is inherently biased. These authors seem to exaggerate the positives and only briefly mentioned the downsides of online recruitment. Consequently critical analysis is imperative. While the Internet is currently being used primarily by employers in the recruiting process many believe technology will soon allow for further expansion into the selection process and other HR functions. As a result the recruitment, selection and induction processes may be moving closer together towards a seamless integration of the hiring process. Although the Internet provides faster communication between organisations and candidates, it is however not face-to-face, which many organisations rely on for forming psychological contracts within the joining process. Employers will consequently need to address how best this issue can be resolved. Other considerations include the role of human resource practitioners in the expansive development of on-line recruitment and selection, and the part that traditional recruitment methods will play in the future. Finally, there is also the question of the extent to which small to medium sized companies will utilise this new form of recruitment.
