E-Recruitment: A Solution for Expensive Hiring Process

In today’s challenging environment, hiring the right person for the right job is a crucial task. Companies rely on skilled resources but finding them is a costly affair.

A single job opening leads to thousands of applications, which is a burden to handle. Or for a single job post, visiting a large number of colleges is also a burden to the organization in terms of cost and time. As a result, recruiters narrow down their search for talent, leaving out a large pool of students where one among them can be a prospective person for the job.

Most of the organizations follow the standard hiring system i.e. reviewing resumes followed by an Aptitude test and Group Discussion and at last face to face interview where evaluation is done manually. The world is an online Social Network. Without avoiding the thought of being global in the social aspect, the hiring cost can be reduced by having a PLATFORM of E-RECRUITMENT.

As an example, consider Evalground. It is an online hiring platform that helps recruiters across the globe with the screening of potential candidates. Evalground provides assessments with regards to a wide range of topics and also customizes assessments to suit your needs.

1. The platform allows recruiters to create tests and invite candidates to take the test
2. The next step is the conduction of the test which the candidate takes in a procured and cheating free online environment
3. After the candidate has completed taking the test, the recruiter receives a detailed report of the evaluated results.
4. And it’s done! Now the recruiter has a list of potential screened candidates.

The ultimate goal of any organization is to reduce the cost and make every process automatic. E-Recruitment is one such solution that is in line with the goals of any organization.

The internet is a powerful place that can make even recruitment less complicated and time-consuming. E-recruitment also called Online Recruitment is a broad term that houses a number of different parts under its umbrella, which could include recruitment management, recruitment through social media platforms, candidate relationship management, and much more.

How to do E-Recruitment?

• Having a job description that reflects your company’s personality is a big winner in e-space. It will attract the right candidates who will fit the role rather than a huge number of people applying, whom you will spend time filtering out again.

• Social Media is a fertile ground to build your employer brand. Regularly posting not only job openings but also behind the scenes posts builds your relationship with potential candidates and accounts for a long term relationship. You will have your potential candidates wanting to work with you even before you have a job role. Give your audience a fun sneak peek of your company’s work culture. And last but not least, don’t underestimate the power of the story feature that many social media platforms provide.
