When
it comes to human resource management, today's businesses tend to rely on quick
advancements in internet technology. As a result, the method of recruiting
candidates for open positions has shifted to electronic recruitment.
Applicants
can upload papers, email, and conduct real-time interviews via audio and video
applications with just a few clicks, and employers can locate qualified
candidates by assessing, interviewing, and hiring them according to job
requirements. Recruitment is more effective and efficient as a result of this.
This
strategy is simple, quick, and inexpensive, and it can be used anywhere in the
world, as opposed to traditional recruitment, which takes longer, costs more,
and is difficult to approach geographically (R. Marr, 2021).

Different
types of E-recruitment
Depending
on the employer's preference, finances, and convenience, e-recruitment can be
done on a variety of websites, including corporate websites, social networking
sites, and job boards (Villeda et al., 2019).
Corporate
website: -
The benefit of posting job openings on a cooperative website is that applicants will learn about their job descriptions as well as other information about the organization's culture.
Job Boards: -
These
can be utilized to provide candidates by resuming mining or posting available
positions on the board of employment. The recruiting sector includes both huge
employment boards such as Monster and CareerBuilder and smaller work boards and
work board complement sites.
Social
Media: -
As
businesses strive to keep up with new trends and technological breakthroughs,
more employees are embracing the digital world by creating their own Facebook
page, LinkedIn profile, and/or Twitter account, resulting in the
creation
of Corporate social media. As a result, Corporate social media has shown to be
a very effective advertising channel with numerous advantages over traditional
media.

DeleteE-Recruitment is the way forward given the present situation. Most of the companies even in Sri Lanka have adapted the E-Recruitment process, for instance, HNB does its Junior Executive, Executive and Trainee interviews online. As discussed above it has its own pros and cons but on my personal view, it is a very effective way of performing interviews. In Srilankan context, physical interviews are time consuming in terms of travelling, so on the interviewer part its more cost effective and time saving. I agree that the E-Recruitment is way forward and effective.
