REFLECTIVE 3 : HUMAN RESOURCE RECRUITING AND STAFFING



From the recent class, Dr.Roya had taught about the new topic which is E-recruitment System. When we talk about recruiting and staffing, it is all about the resourcing process of an organization. Many big and small organizations are using Internet as a source of recruitment. I think this system can give the high job vacancies and easily the process regarding the recruitment process and the admin can update faster the requirement that needed by company and company can shortlisted the submission of the form.
After understood the main concept of recruiting and staffing, Dr. Roya continued with e-recruitment system. From my understanding of this topic, e-recruitment is the process of recruiting and hiring by using technology tools. More accurately, it is a system for employers to advertise their job opening or vacancy and for candidates to submit their online job application through internet. Nowadays, the growth of internet means that a significant amount of recruitment is now carried out online.
    Moreover, E-recruitment is beneficial in terms of cost and time effectiveness. From what I expected before, the organization could save the cost by advertising the job opening via company’s website instead of publishing advertisement on newspaper. Besides, online recruitment helps the organizations to weed out the unqualified candidates in an automated way. The recruitment process are more faster as expected.
Other than that, I had learnt new term today psychological contract fulfillment. By referring to Dr. Roya, it is a verbal mutual agreement between an employee and employer about each other’s commitment to the organization. It is one of the benefits because it could increase the satisfaction between both parties.
Of course, e-recruitment has own disadvantages as well. It is using technological approaches and if any problems happen on the system will cause the information loss. For example, if the system attacked by virus or spyware, the database will be corrupted and lead to missing.
In addition, Dr. Roya has mentioned about content management. It is about the ways of managing contents on website such as how to arrange the template or put the content properly. It failed to do so, the contents will be unclear and it will create problems for users.
     At the end of class, I had learnt so many new terms that I have never heard before and maybe I will often use it after this. I felt satisfied because I can gain more knowledge about e-recruitment.
