Jobs and employment sites:

  1. Efficiency:

    Online recruiting offers a variety of tools including pre-employment screening, personality assessments and testing to screen candidates to allow you to select qualified candidates who match your organization's values and culture with minimal human interaction. Many recruiting software packages offer a variety of these services that you can customize to meet your organization's specific needs for each job.

  2. Audience

    Online recruiting reaches a much larger or more targeted audience than other methods do. Along with reaching job seekers anywhere, you can attract candidates with very specific skills. Some Internet job boards are targeted for niche industries. Also, many professional associations allow employers to post job openings on their websites. This not only allows employers to find candidates with very specific skills, it can also attract passive candidates who may not be looking for employment.

  3. Cost

    For most businesses, recruiting costs are among the highest expenses. Recruiting not only involves the actual costs of hiring a candidate, but training and retention costs too. Each employee is required to receive training and orientation and a time frame to learn the aspects of his job. This is considered an investment for many employers. If an employee leaves the organization before those costs pay off, the recruiting process begins again, which is recorded as a financial loss. Properly administering online recruitment and selection procedures can drastically reduce costs and increase employee retention, which is a better return on investment. Online recruiting involves less human interaction, reaches a much broader audience, files records electronically and provides selection tools electronically. This reduces the cost for storage, as well as the cost of employees required to maintain and administer recruitment and selection procedures.
