Only 20 per cent of
e-recruiting sites are contributing significantly to their company’s existing
recruitment processes, claims an HR consultancy survey from the US.
The Cambria consulting survey of 140
corporate e-recruiting sites in the US found that 65 per cent of the sites
could be improved.
The report suggests the corporate
e-recruitment could be improved by establishing an interactive link to a
recruiter or an HR contact, having an accessible career section in a corporate
home page, maintaining an up-to-date list of job openings and allowing
candidates to apply to more than one vacancy.
The report found that navigating to
find the career sections in company websites is a problem among the companies
surveyed.
Nearly 40 per cent of companies have
no direct or visible links from their home page to pages designed for potential
job applicants, claims the report.
