ReplyDeleteToday, it is very difficult for an organization to recruit the required number of employees and modern companies use different methods for this purpose. However, the most suitable employee for a vacancy in an organization should be recruited, and the success of the organization depends on the employees.
ReplyDeleteThough E recruiting is beneficial in one angle, there it's disadvantages too. It will be difficult to recruit employees suiting the culture of the organization
ReplyDeleteE recruitment can shorten the lead time of the recruitment process but it cannot fully support the selection of a best candidate since the filtering and assessing cannot be done in a proper way. So that it is better to have a hybrid version of those two concepts to support the recruitment process.
ReplyDeleteE-recruitment is still been a issue in srilanakn context but in the other develop country s they do this thing very productive manner ,my view is that we need to have both way of the selection process in first stage we can do it with using the internet but in second and final process it is impotent have the candidate in face to face introduction.
ReplyDeleteE recruiting will surely reduce the cost concern of an organization. However, in my opinion physical contact of both parties will give a better understanding of each other which will give the best outcome of a recruitment.
