Modern recruitment channels are constantly expanding. Now it is not only advertisements in newspapers, advertising on radio and TV, but also attracting Internet resources. Competent recruitment via the Internet implies not only the search, but also the selection of potential employees.
Using web resources for recruitment, you can act in two ways:
-
Registration on behalf of the organization and posting vacancies.
-
Studying resumes of job seekers on job platforms.
Innovative recruitment methods include searching for employees through social networks. Among HR employees, this recruiting tool is very popular, because it allows you to check a potential employee even before the interview.
It is known that photos, hobbies, life position can say a lot about a person, but this information, in most cases, is freely available on the user's personal page. It happens that HR managers also find compromising materials that block the applicant's access to the position.
Online recruitment methods
The use of Internet technologies in the selection of personnel is welcomed all over the world today. Effective recruitment methods are:
-
search for suitable employees using robot programs, thanks to automation and the introduction of recruitment funnels;
-
recruitment through social networks;
-
organization of online competitions, the winners of which will be able to apply for a position in the company.
One of the current tools for recruiting is to create a company's reputation. This method is used to acquaint applicants with the corporate culture of the enterprise, talk about the features of work, and demonstrate the life of the company from the inside.
Pros and cons of online recruiting
Searching for personnel on social networks allows you to expand your audience reach. When an ad is posted on a job search resource, only active candidates see it, while social networks reach passive job seekers who are only thinking about changing jobs.
Using social networks to search and establish business contacts allows you to advertise a vacancy to a narrow circle of job seekers by setting up a filter by place of residence, age, position. The use of social networks allows you to better understand the candidates themselves in order to make the right decision about cooperation.
Recruitment through the Internet has not only advantages, but also disadvantages. Among the minuses can be identified:
-
Online content is constantly updated, and job vacancies are no exception. When searching for employees via the Internet, you must regularly update vacancies, otherwise they will quickly get lost among hundreds of other job offers.
-
There will be many responses to job offers, but really worthy candidates may not respond immediately.
-
To get results from searching for employees via the Internet, it is important to devote two to three hours daily to this activity.
-
When communicating online, people feel more relaxed than offline, which means that you can expect different results from an interview, both positive and negative.
In general, recruitment services via the Internet are in demand and, probably, their demand will only increase.
