RECRUITING AND STAFFING

In the previous week, we already cover about recruiting and staffing topic. Recruitment refers to the process of attracting, screening, and selecting a qualified person for a job. According to the Douglas and John (2009), recruitment and staffing of new employee is the first processes to rapidly adopt the internet as a core element of the business process. In that topic we had learnt about understanding subsystem of recruiting and staffing, the comparison traditional method and online method, their objectives and the roles of technology on recruitment and staffing process.  So, we already know about the details about recruitment and staffing using online method. In that week also, we asked to prepare a presentation regarding to this topic. We only given one week to get prepare on this presentation.  As we know, online recruitment also called E-recruitment. From what I learnt, E-Recruitment is a process of having a right person right time and right place via online. That process is for selecting workers. Online recruitment also helps the participants and employers gain information toward the vacancy in that organization. From my understanding in that class toward this topic is online recruitment or E-Recruitment is productive strategy to achieve the goal. So, Human Resource Officer should know how this system works, how to build it and how to use this system.

We also know the components of E-Recruitment and Selection from that class. There are many types of components that can be used for recruiting a workers such as job vacancies, external recruitment, internal recruitment, test, interview and so on. For example, test. If organization using online test, it will allows for the possibility of unprotected administration. It also can give security toward that test where by it keeping the test content under lock and key for future use and preventing cheating.

From what I learnt also there are many advantages and disadvantages using E-recruitment. Their advantages is can save the time and cost, wider the reach for employer and participants, sophisticated technique, and so on. This online recruitment also has their disadvantages such as technological abuse, wrong information, and need expertise and so on.

So, in conclusion, the online recruitment is a good method rather than the traditional method because it will give a big impact to the company.
