What's wrong with
email recruitment?
|
| Technology makes changes to our way of life. People who
embrace changes move along with it; those who resist changes will have to play
catch up later. |
| Online recruitment VS email recruitment |
| Sifting through a maze of emails,
irretrievable loss of data – the woes of email recruitment |
| How is job recruitment carried out today? Previously
employers had to sift through piles of hard copy resumes sent in by post.
Recruitment ought to be an easier process now with technological advances,
right?
|
| Unfortunately this is not the case. Fact is, this system
entails sifting through a maze of emails and attachments, as well as a possibly
irretrievable loss of data. These together mean that time and effort is wasted
unnecessarily. |
| Consider this scenario. A job applicant emails a resume to
your company. In order to view this application, you have to open the email,
download the attached resume and open the file. You then close this email and
open the next one. Four things have to be done to view just one application.
Multiply that by the average number of job applications and what do you get? A
human resource headache! |
| With multiple applicants, chances are you will lose track
of your applicant pool and feel irked during the hiring process. Any attempt to
print out the resumes simply returns you to the pre-Internet days of leafing
through piles of paper documents. Either way there is no way you can consider
all applicants at one glance. |
| Sounds familiar? Consider also the immense data lost in
the event of a crashed or corrupted hard disk. This is truly a recruiter’s
nightmare; unless a backup has been made, there is no way for a recruiter to
retrieve applicant information again. |
| When you consider things more carefully therefore, email
does not seem an ideal way to carry out recruitment after all. Our purpose of
designing ARMS is to present you with a simple and streamlined way to reach,
evaluate and select people searching for jobs in Singapore and the region |

compelling reasons |
