The Dangers Of e-Recruiting

And it's easy to see why online recruiting has quickly won converts and steadfast adherents. Besides its flexibility and lower cost than traditional hiring tactics, such as advertising, employers can:

• Seek employees 24 hours a day, every day;
• Reduce, to some extent, travel costs, with prospective employees applying for work from the privacy of their homes;
• Maximize scales of economy by lowering recruitment costs and plumbing the capabilities of their corporate Web sites;
• Quickly remove filled positions;
• Quickly post new positions;
• Receive resumes and applications from potential applicants faster than ever;
• Offer complete job descriptions and allow quicker, more efficient and inexpensive communication between recruiters and applicants; and
• Provide more services, such as non-English language employment postings, application forms and company information directly to potential applicants, faster and at lower cost than they have prior to the proliferation of Internet access, and the lowering of Internet service subscription prices.

e-Recruiting is also providing e-commerce ventures with more revenue streams via hosting, e-mail and total recruiting services ' including training and staff development.
