Why is e-recruitment important?

Creates a central hub for all recruitment

Establish one 'easy to access' portal where the job seeker and recruiter can be connected and communicate with each other with the benefit of automation, real time data and reduced advertising spend.

Increasing reach of the Internet - manage volume

The use of the Internet yields far greater number of applications for every job vacancy promoted, simply due to the decreased cost, increased reach and ease of application created by the Internet job boards and online forms. It is no surprise then that the Internet has become the source of choice for job seekers.

Improves candidate care

Whilst many employers are recognizing the value of using their website to source candidates, many have failed to implement systems to assist in the management of the applications, and are more likely to fail in candidate care.

Talent warehousing

Internet connectivity provides an unprecedented capability to build a database of candidates from which to search for future positions. Recruitment specific CRM tools (known as TRM - Talent Relationship Management) are utilized to encourage job seekers back to the site to view new positions as they become available and update their information. This ensures you search on recent relevant data and that over time your main source of candidates can come from your own database.

Streamline processes - reduce cost and time per hire

Workflow based e-recruitment solutions provide the ability to significantly streamline HR and recruitment processes through automation of communication and engagement of relevant stakeholders at each step of the recruitment process. This has been proven to significantly reduce time and cost per hire.

In addition, given this increasingly litigious society we work in, a complete record of the recruitment process is stored for each candidate providing vital information as to the selection process you undertake and the results.

Advanced Reporting

With more and more pressure being brought to bear on HR and Recruitment practitioners to find and select high quality candidates faster and deliver measurable benefit to businesses it is imperative to provide high visibility of process efficiency and a lower cost base - particularly in a world where it is increasingly difficult to find those candidates!

Advanced reporting includes the ability to measure against key metrics and performance indicators such as;

Where candidates are coming from
How many candidates are applying
Candidate data such as location, qualifications, skills
Time to evaluate candidates through selection process
Number of Vacancies by region, business unit etc
Time to hire
Cost per hire
Resource allocation

and much more all in real time via the web.
