Excerpt from the Book
3.4 Advantages of E-recruiting
Job exchanges on the Internet and job search engines have fundamentally changed the application and job advertising market. Every company is interested in attracting coveted talent and skilled workers. If you want to increase your chances, you have to be fast and proceed transparently. Today, no company can afford time-consuming manual processing - not least because it damages its image. For many applicants, the company's appearance in the application process is an indication of its internal structures and how employees are treated in their day-to-day work. If, for example, there is no reaction to the receipt of the application documents or if the rejection is formulated impersonally, this casts a bad light on the employer.
These are precisely the strengths of e-recruiting. E-Recruiting makes the application process more systematic, efficient and cost-effective across all contact points. Open positions can thus be filled more quickly - also with regard to the international applicant market.
