Human Resource Recruiting and Staffing.

Hello everybody, today, I will tell you all about human resource recruiting and staffing, which is one of the key function for Human Resource Management. Recruitment is a process to find the right person, in the right place and right time.

From the lecture of Dr.Roya, i understand that, nowadays, it is easier for the organization to find better employee, with their expectation. There are many ways that can be used to recruit a new employee, where one of the ways that can be used is Electronic Recruitment. Electronic Recruitment can be done either using external or internal sources. The organization can post the job that needs the employment using the internet or intranet. There a large talent pool over the whole world that has diversity and different skills that might be needed by the organization. The applicants will not only include graduates, but also the people from other company, and others. According to Pearce and Tuten (2001), Internet is viewed as an important tool for recruitment in an organization. Moreover, Capelli (2001) also state that 90% of the companies in the United States use internet to recruit employees. This system also can be used to recruit the applicants from their own online website or other resources. For example, this technology can be applied through are job search engines, applicant tracking system and others.

Dr.Roya also stated that the advantage of the E-Recruitment can be seen from how it reduces the cost and time in the recruitment process. It also provides real time information, for the applicant and the human resources management. Furthermore, it will provide diversity and quality applicants to fulfill the organization needs. The applicant will just have to fill in the form in the organization web or other job searching web. They can fill in as many as form of job in any organization that they have interest.

In addition, the organization should have safety measures in E-recruitment. As we know, there are people that might cheat in order to get a job. For example, the applicants might use fake personal information. In the class, Dr.Roya have given us assignment to present about recruiting and staffing, advantage and disadvantage of online recruitment. Even my group was given the task to present in the class about technological issues that influence selection and solution that have been reached. After the assignment has been presented, i clearly understand about E-Recruitment in recruitment and staffing.
