Since the discovery of Moore’s law on the development of computers and the electronic world, technology has grown to become more and more useful in daily applications. The famous Gordon Moore showed that the power of computing will increase exponentially with time; an idea that has been proven since he first mentioned it. This has resulted in an increased application of computer and electronic related activities not only in daily normal life but also in businesses as well.

Human resource management as a field has faced multiple phases of development. From the ages it was referred to as personnel management, the area has evolved to the today’s widely known Human resource management. More recent development has extended to include electronic-way-of-life into human resource management giving the world the ever glorious Electronic Human Resource Management. Deshwal (2015) in his powerful research work showed that record keeping and information sharing has been changed so much by the way HR department has involved information technology in its practices. Notably, paperwork has decreased in volumes and the access to data has become excellent.
