Web Based HR Planning: Recruiting and Staffing

This interesting topic is actually about the recruitment process that been done by organization by using internet, for easily understanding. If we put it in term, it is E-Recruitment system which is stands for online job application and processing system for employers to advertise their job opening and for candidates to submit their application via the internet.

I learn that online recruitment is divided into three components, which are input, HRIS database and Output. In input, the organization have to make a details for the requirement that need by vacancy position, then, it would go for HRIS database where the data provided by organization being stored in the database. Once it been keep in database, we can see the output which is it appear on the recruiting subsystem, which advertise the requirement that the organization need thus will help the applicant see the information given.

In this topic, as far as I learned, I can say it is good for each of organization to conduct E-Recruitment. According to Lukaszewski K.M, Dickter D.N, Lyons B.D, and Kehoe J.F, (2011), using online recruitment can save 95% of recruitment cost other than traditional method. However, the issue is, for some of the company, online recruitment not suitable. It would generate a lot number of resumes compared to the number of vacancy. This would be burden for the management to screening all of the application.

 The aspects that cause me surprised is, psychological contract fulfillment are the important goals for the organization. Psychological contract are actually the reciprocal obligations and promises between them and their organization, but when their psychological contracts being breached, they feel dissatisfied and likely to leave the organization. Organizations have to understand those psychological contract fulfillments are actually including their work role, relationship and organization culture. It is important issues that we have to think whether this online recruitment are actually win-win situation or not for the job applicants and organization itself?

For this topic, I actually took some important things which is, firstly, what are actually the online recruiting, how the process traditional recruiting are actually not so benefit compare this new approach, and the key point that we have to consider in apply online recruiting for the organization.
