There is no doubt that the Internet has fundamentally changed recruiting. Since job boards appeared on the scene in the 90s, savvy HR recruiters were quick to find ways to take advantage of this new, low cost way to reach the large, growing market of Internet users.
Today, more than six million people around the world are online at any time looking for work. Entrepreneurs spotted this trend early on, and created recruitment management systems that allow companies to harness the web to help facilitate recruiting functions, from creating job requisitions to the logistics of bringing new hires on board.
This market has grown exponentially, with companies predicted to spend more than $708 million globally this year for online recruiting systems and services.
Advorto, one of Europe’s leading providers of on-demand, recruitment management solutions, has created "The 15-minute guide to online recruiting" to help HR teams with their online recruiting needs.
The guide gives practical, hand-on tips covering the essentials, traditional and web 2.0 advertising methods and other topics such as background checking, screening and on-boarding.
Online recruitment systems and methods are not intended to replace recruiters; nothing can substitute experience, market knowledge and company insight. What online systems can do is allow you to channel the right effort into the right activities, freeing up valuable time to focus on key areas. Good knowledge of Internet recruiting methods coupled with a comprehensive recruitment management solution can give you a highly effective and rounded recruitment strategy to win the war for talent.
We'll be publishing bits of the guide here on Recruitment 2.0. If you can't wait, you can download the entire guide now.
