updated: January 14, 2010

An online recruitment system automates an organization's recruiting process by receiving employment applications through the Internet.

Function

1. Online recruitment systems offer access from almost anywhere to receive, process and maintain resumes in an easily accessible web-based database.

Features

2. Many online recruitment software packages help streamline the recruiting process by offering different tools to immediately assess candidates who submit their application or resume. Candidates can also be found easily using keyword searches to pinpoint resumes or applications that most closely match job requirements.

Considerations

3. When reviewing these systems, consider all of your organization's needs, such as candidate testing, assessments and online application submission to find the best system to help organize your recruiting process.

Benefits

4. These systems offer cost savings because they allow hiring professionals to access only qualified candidates without having to go through an enormous number of applications and resumes manually.

Disadvantages

5. Because most of these systems use a keyword search to find candidates, qualified candidates may be overlooked if their resumes and applications do not include specific keywords or industry-specific jargon.
