What is e-Recruitment?

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.
