    Today, 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.

    Though 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

    E 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.

    E 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.

Ultimate Human Goals

  Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs Abraham Maslow was a clinical scientist who was not interested in particular psychiatric disorders, but in a broader variety of human psychological needs. He is known best for his philosophy of hierarchy-of-needs. The principle, described in a pyramid, organizes in order of relevance the five distinct stages of human psychological and physical needs.
