E-Recruitment, also known as online recruitment, refers to the process of using digital tools, platforms, and internet-based resources to attract, assess, and hire candidates. The term gained prominence in the early 2000s as companies began shifting away from traditional recruitment methods like newspaper ads and in-person interviews to more efficient online systems. E-Recruitment allows businesses to reach a broader talent pool globally, reducing hiring time and cost.
Key Components of E-Recruitment:
-
Job postings: Advertising job vacancies on company websites, job boards (such as Indeed or LinkedIn), and social media.
-
Applicant tracking systems (ATS): Software used to manage applications, filter resumes, and track candidates' progress.
-
Online assessments and interviews: Conducting skill evaluations and interviews remotely through digital platforms.
