	What is Online Recruitment?

	Online recruitment refers to the conducting of hiring processes using online tools. Such recruitment tools may take the form of online application forms, psychometric tests, job ad posting systems and applicant tracking systems and applicant management systems. These may exist on a company's own Internet website, on its own corporate intranet or on a separate jobsite that can be accessed by logging in. Jobsnet is one such jobsite.

As such, online recruitment does not just provide new technology to the HR department but results in a reshuffling of the recruitment chain and cultural change. That is to say, it changes the manner in which responsibility for hiring decisions is distributed and how those responsible behave.
