5 Influences Of Technology On Recruitment Process

1. Job Advertisements

Computers and net books aren’t the only forms of technology that have had a significant impact on employing or hiring process. Because of more utilization of smart phones has led Job hunters to view and apply for job vacancies from almost anywhere. These large applicant numbers have resulted in employers outsourcing recruiting to online and flat fee recruitment specialists to do the main part for them.

1. Online Applications

The enormous increase in an online applications system has speed up the actual job seeking process for applying candidates, but not necessarily employers. Interested candidates can simply send a generic email to the employer or fill in their application form online. The ease in which an application form can be submitted nowadays has increased the sheer volume of applicants, some of whom may have applied for the position on a whim. This faces the employer with a tough predicament of differentiating between the passionate applicants and the lackluster opportunists.

Many applications received are from job seekers who haven’t read the advertisement properly and have inadequate qualifications for the position — this can make the filtering process extremely time consuming.

1. A shift toward social performance

Well these days hiring management industry is actually not keeping up along with the demands of employees and because of this Social Performance is going slowly seeing adoption across the workforce, and this will continue in the next three years since it’s easy to use and deploy–not only HR, but for every leader and manager–in order to drive autonomy and results. It’s also ideal in meeting the need for HR processes to be continuous, and allows for more informal feedback in real-time.

1. Social Media

One of the ways that employers are trying out to try and to improve the contender experience is with social media. Networks such as Facebook and LinkedIn may be great ways to stay in touch with possible candidates, or to find great candidates, but the 'social' in social media needs to be remembered when it comes to these interactions. Simply messaging open positions from time to time isn't social. Constantly reaching out to tons of people for recruitment isn't social.
