Today, one of the essential cornerstones of a savvy employment strategy for businesses in every economic area is the use of internet recruitment. To make the process of finding a job easier, more and more people are turning to digital resources, such as corporate websites, job postings on federal, state, and municipal websites, online job search engines and aggregators, internet classifieds, and online versions of local and national newspapers. On the other hand, an increasing number of businesses are moving a large amount of their recruiting efforts online. In 2007, the idea of doing a job search or candidate hunt offline is nearly unthinkable for professionals working on both sides of the recruiting equation. Online resources have made this virtually impossible. The migration of many recruiting functions and job search tools online has undeniably substantially extended the breadth, accessibility, simplicity of use, and efficiency of the recruitment process; nevertheless, the long-term repercussions of this development remain shrouded in mystery. In the meantime, the ever-quickering pace of technological advancement has placed many human resource professionals in the awkward position of having to define a set of best practices for online recruitment on the fly, as it were, even as the protocols and methods that are being used in the process continue to evolve. This has forced these HR professionals into the uncomfortable position of having to define a set of best practices for online recruitment on the fly. The trend of online recruiting, which is growing at an exponential rate, is difficult to define and describe for the simple reason that it is always evolving. However, by relying on a variety of recently conducted studies and indices, it is possible to piece together a better picture of what the trend of online recruiting is and what it is not, as well as what it may presage about the future of human resources. charting the development of the trend toward online recruiting from the years 2000-2007 Since the year 2000, there has been a significant increase in the number of job searches and recruiting activities that are conducted online. This is consistent with the growth of nearly every other service that is made possible by the internet. However, in contrast to the majority of other internet-based service trends that experienced a decline in the early 2000s, some analysts believe that the dot-com crash and the subsequent tightening of first the technology labor market and then the general labor market actually facilitated the expansion of online job searches and recruitment efforts. This is in contrast to the majority of other internet-based service trends that experienced a decline during this time period. Online job search sites have progressively emerged as a touchstone for millions of job searchers as the labor market has been overwhelmed with a sudden inflow of laid-off workers, many of whom were refugees from the it sector. Despite the fact that many companies had begun publishing job openings on their corporate websites years before this time, the early 2000s were the time period during which a truly unique online recruitment paradigm emerged and for the first time achieved a level of critical mass. This was the period in which the majority of people were using the internet. It would seem that this narrative is supported by market statistics as well as statistical evaluations of the rapidly expanding internet recruiting business. According to reports from 1999, less than one-third of firms on the Fortune 500 list were participating in any kind of online recruiting at all, including the advertising of available jobs on the company’s own corporate website. This percentage had reached 94 percent by the year 2003, and it is now at the highest possible level of 100 percent. When looking for a new job, many people are turning almost entirely — and in some instances, solely — to internet resources for their information. This trend is expected to continue. According to a survey that was conducted in 2003, it was found that 45 percent of those looking for work admitted to using the internet as part of their search. According to a poll that was carried out by the Society for Human Resource Management in 2006, an astounding 96% of job searchers made use of internet resources in the course of their job searches. It would seem that the terms “job search” and “online job search” are becoming more interchangeable in the minds of a rising number of workers who are actively looking for new employment opportunities. In the early days of online recruitment, the majority of job sites were either maintained by a corporate parent solely for the purpose of internal recruitment, or else they were operated on a volunteer or donation-only basis by individuals involved in a particular field or industry. In more recent years, however, more and more job sites have been created specifically for external recruitment. However, internet recruiting has become a successful sector in its own right in recent years; the most popular job search websites now routinely draw in large profits. This income is primarily derived from ad revenues generated by companies that are willing to pay large sums of money to market their wares to the millions of job seekers who regularly peruse websites such as monster.com and yahoo! hotjobs. These companies are able to reach their target demographic because these websites have a large number of visitors. A little more than $3 billion in yearly sales were generated by the internet recruiting sector in 2003. In 2007, this number has already surpassed $16 billion, and industry experts estimate that by the beginning of the following year, the internet recruiting sector might bring in more than $20 billion yearly. When considered as a whole, each and every one of the data indicators tells a tale of exponential development and expansion in the ubiquity, popularity, significance, and profitability of
