Abstract

Recruiting on the Internet has taken off, with some companies finding a third of their new hires on-line. According to one survey, nearly 20% of job-seekers use the Internet. Not surprisingly, given the demographics of Net users, these job-seekers tend to be well qualified. Consequently, human resource divisions need to make the most of their company Web sites for recruiting purposes. Another appealing and economical route is to use commercial job listing services. There are a few large services, such as CareerMosaic and the Monster Board, and those that concentrate on jobs in a single industry or area, such as showbizjobs.com and coolworks.com. Electronic recruiting will continue to grow dramatically, though not to the exclusion of more traditional means of hiring.
