e-Recruitment is a modern notion of recruitment processes that use electronic resources, typically Web-based (ie. the Internet), to achieve the normal outcomes of recruitment. Other common names for e-recruitment are online recruitment, Internet recruitment, e-recruiting and erecruitment.
e-Recruitment applications assist recruiters to manage requisitions, job posting, application responses, applicant tracking, interviewing, assessment, qualification and skill validation and other recruitment tasks. As these processes become automated through the use of an e-Recruitment application (recruitment software), the time and money spent on these tasks can be reduced substantially, whilst the organisation becomes more efficient using their own talent pool.
With recent advancements in technology, artificial intelligence has been leveraged and applied to e-Recruitment. The end result is the ability to integrate online resume search technology to parse resume databases within your recruitment software and make automated decisions about matching positions to candidates.
Even though the e-Recruitment industry is a relatively new one and is still evolving, e-Recruitment applications available in the market today are mature when it comes to reliability and utilisation of best-practice.

Web-based or client-server recruitment systems?
There are two main types of recruitment systems in the market today: the ones that are Web-based; and the ones that have chosen a client-server architecture.
The selection of a recruitment software solution based on the systems architecture is not necessarily a matter of personal preference, but a critical factor that may dictate what you can or cannot achieve in particular circumstances. Client-server software typically needs to be installed, maintained and managed on your own computer hardware. You usually pay for a software license and an annual maintenance fee. Web-based, "on-demand" or Software as a Service (SaaS) recruitment software vendors host the system for you, looking after all the hardware and software in their own data centre and the service is delivered in real-time over the Internet. You usually pay a subscription fee (typically monthly), which gives you access to the platform again over the Internet. When it comes to configuration and flexibility, Web-based systems tend to have a serious advantage, as all changes can be deployed online without the need for installation patches and change management tasks at your end.

What are ASP or SaaS-delivered recruitment systems?
An ASP (Application Service Provider) is perhaps old terminology for what is known now-a-days as Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) or "on-demand" software. The model incorporates a third party entity, the vendor, which manages and distributes software-based services and solutions to customers remotely over the Internet. The user of the service uses a browser, such as Microsoft Internet Explorer or Firefox, to access the resources through their Internet connection, in real-time, 24 hours a day. Bajarang recruitment software is a good example of the SaaS delivery model, which implies that the vendor takes care of all maintenance, upgrades and backups to ensure peak performance of the software.
Benefits:
* Extra stablity and security through the high performance global Tier-1 network; which is why the majority of corporate clients choose this solution.
* The convenience and affordability of payment based on a monthly investment, rather than a one-off lump sum.
* Faster and easier to implement than the traditional client/server model, where access is obtained by a program on the client's computer and the shared data is stored on the company's server.

What is online recruitment?
Any recruitment activity that uses the Internet as the principal medium of communication is covered by the term "online recruitment". Even with the advancements of technology and the ubiquitousness of the Web, recruitment is a people business. Hence, direct people interactions are still very important and they take a substantial amount of effort and time. Hence processes supported by online technologies have added automation and efficiencies to the value-chain. That is where online recruitment software technologies excell and where immense value can be derived from.
Besides the obvious process automation benefits, online recruitment is able to offer an additional dimension to recruitment which was not possible before. You can now harness Internet-based recruitment software technology to:
o
* Reach out further, to a bigger audience.
* Handle much higher volumes.
* Speed up the recruitment process.
* Improve the candidate experience through their online interactions.
* Give the hiring managers more control.
* Add flexiblity.
* Reduce costs.
