Study Notes
Digital Recruiting
- Digital recruiting is an application or human resource software that enables the human resource department to post vacant positions on multiple forums, use AI to screen resumes and list relevant candidates, schedule candidate interviews, and send offer letters.
- Examples of recruiting software include Oracle Recruiting Cloud, Talentcloud.ai, and iCIMS.
Recruitment
- Internal recruitment advantages include motivating employees to work hard for promotion, reducing recruiting cost, facilitating succession planning and career development, and no need for induction as employees are already aware of company cultures and policies.
- Internal recruitment disadvantages include demoralizing employees who are not promoted, encouraging internal strife for promotions, and denying promotion opportunities to good performers.
- External recruitment advantages include bringing new perspectives, having a large number of applicants to select from, and reducing training costs.
- External recruitment disadvantages include lower morale, high costs, and time required for recruitment, as well as the need for new employees to adapt to company culture and policies.
Types of Tests
- Intelligence tests aim to measure problem-solving skills.
- Medical tests enable employers to recruit workers with required qualifications.
