Zusammenfassung der Kapitel (Chapter Summaries)
Abstract: Provides a brief overview of the evolution of personnel management and human resource management (HRM), leading to the discussion of e-recruitment versus traditional methods. It highlights the increasing popularity of e-recruitment among large companies and introduces the paper's central research question.
Problem: Explores the rapid growth of e-recruitment, citing statistics on its adoption by large companies. It discusses both the potential benefits (cost reduction, time efficiency, expanded reach) and drawbacks (lack of flexibility, potential exclusion of certain groups) of e-recruitment.
Methodological Issues: Describes the research methodology, which relies on a combination of literary sources and empirical data primarily from the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD) annual surveys on recruitment in the UK. It acknowledges the limitations of using data representative only of the UK.
Analysis: (Partial content available in preview) This section begins by introducing a quote highlighting the influence of recruitment channels on applicant quality. A full analysis of the findings is not available in this preview.
