HUMAN RESOURCES RECRUITING AND STAFFING

     In fulfilling the needs of today’s globalization era, organizations have to work hard and stress on their attempt in searching for the right, adventurous, capable employees. Thus, in acquiring this objective, the process of recruitment and selection of employees should be done systematically and successfully. Nowadays, most organizations chose to have online recruitment rather than having the old-fashioned-filling-forms methods.

     What is meant by the process of recruitment? And why is it so important to the organization? Cascio (2006) stated that recruitment is actually a process of identifying, attracting and hiring the most qualified people.

     However, the process has becoming even more challenging as we are now engaging in a competitive, technological world and the organization need to find the most capable, qualified talent to fill in certain job vacancies. Thus, what are the organizational strategies in order to overcome this issue?  Hence, most organizations are now applying online recruitment in order to find the most talented applicants from all over the world to fill in the vacant job positions.

     In order to understand about this process, it is best for us to know what the objectives of doing recruitment are and also the impacts of doing online recruitment. According to Breaugh and Starke (2000), the objectives of recruitments include cost of filling a job opening, speed of filling a job opening, psychological contract fulfilment, employee satisfaction, retention rates, quality of applicants, quantity of applicants and lastly, diversity of applicants.

     It is important for the organization to have a review on the significance of applying online recruitment to their organization. This is because, most of organizations are having difficulties during the process of screening the best candidates as they only need  a few peoples but they have to screen thousands of peoples. Thus, it shows inefficiency and it gives burden to HR departments as well.

     Applying online recruitment also helps to decrease cycle time and allowed the organizations to spend less time on gathering and sorting data (Cardy & Miller, 2003).

     Next, selection process is the process of testing and assessments on the candidates and it functions as to, measure their ability, personality or knowledge as well as to test their skills.

     In terms of the functions of Information System on selection, it simplifies the employees’ burden by enabling to conduct test more efficiently and the results will be drawn out automatically and precisely.
