Recruitment used to mean newspaper ads, walk-in interviews and lots of paper resumes a situation that has changed a lot in the ten years leading to E-Recruitment, which is the use of internet platforms and tools to post jobs, collect applications, screen people and make the hiring process better. This paper looks at how E-Recruitment's used in human resources based on an internship at a Chartered Accountancy firm. The paper tries to find out if and how much the use of technology has made hiring more efficient. Data was collected from 110 people using a questionnaire with a five-point scale, mostly through Google Forms and a few printed copies. Convenience sampling was used because the internship was short. The data was analyzed using percentages. Shown with tables, bar charts and pie charts to make it easier to understand. Secondary information came from HRM books, journal articles, company records and industry reports. It was found that most people felt E-Recruitment helped make the hiring process faster reached more people and made communication better. Statements about finding people based on skills and better communication between recruiters and candidates had the average scores. Responses about scheduling interviews had a neutral feel showing there is room for improvement in these areas. It can be said that E-Recruitment is a tool in modern HR work but it works best when used with human judgment instead of on its own. Among all the parts of Human Resource Management recruitment is probably the important activity that sets the tone for the whole employee life cycle in an organization. Getting the right people is very important because it helps the organization meet its goals and has an impact on the success of training, engagement and performance management strategies. Traditionally recruitment relied a lot on newspaper ads, employee recommendations, campus visits, recruitment agencies and walk-in interviews.
KEYWORDS
Recruitment is very important for the success of a company. The people hired affect the companys productivity, attitude and performance. This study looked at whether E-Recruitment makes a difference in the way RSC does hiring and the results show it does with some concerns. Employees see E-Recruitment as faster, cheaper and better than ways. Using Applicant Tracking Systems helps reduce the work for recruiters letting them focus on the parts that need input. Virtual interviews and online tests help the company reach people no matter where they are. However the study found two problems with the E-Recruitment methods. First automated systems sometimes miss candidates because they don't have the right keywords. Second the security of candidate data is a concern. These issues don't stop E-Recruitment from working but they show that people are still needed in the process. Personally the internship was a learning experience giving me a chance to use what I learned in real life. The important thing I learned is that E-Recruitment is a big part of how companies hire now and the benefits are clear when a company uses it. For a human resources manager E-Recruitment should not be used to replace ways but to do the job better than people can on their own.
