Recruitment hints and tips
Key stages of an e-recruitment process
An organisations e-recruitment site can do a number of different things. The complexity of the site, and hence the level of back-office technology required, will naturally be determined by the extent to which you bring the recruitment process online.
Many e-recruitment sites include a selection of the following:
- Online corporate brochure which describes the nature of the business and its culture
- Graduate or other mass recruitment (e.g. call centre positions; apprenticeship schemes) channel
- Information on vacancies, including contact email or phone number
- Detailed job specifications and any information that you may normally send out with an application pack or at interview stage
- Speculative application facility
- Online application form
- Killer questions or self selection questions to help applicants decide if the job is really for them
