FINDING JOBS ONLINE: 09/26/07

Online Recruitment is here to stay

Gone are the days when people used to encircle job listings in newspapers and wait for interview calls. Finding a job in India has become so much easier after the web has entered the public domain, says RK Sachdeva, CEO, Tecumseh India Pvt Ltd. He goes on to add that e-recruitment has a major role to play in the hiring of a manpower of 2000 which is a part of the Indian branch of this multi national company.

The Wikipedia encyclopedia defines the ’World Wide Web’ as a global, read-write information space. Indeed it is this space that has enabled us to connect and interact with people across the globe, in a matter of a few minutes. Amongst the population of these web-users are a number of employees and employers.

In today’s world of liberalization and globalization, the internet provides the workforce with a common platform to interact and communicate. Time plays a very crucial role in the progressive economy and e-recruitment ensures that hiring is a convenient process.

TV18 took up a 50% stake in JobStreet.com India which is an online recruitment company. TimesJobs.com, which is a part of India’s biggest media house The Times of India, broke away from its tie up with Career Builder of the US and has emerged to be the second biggest online recruitment agency. Facts like these establish the point that the Indian workforce is utilizing the web to improve its career prospects.

Employer’s Advantage

Online recruitment is the only medium through which an employer can post a job listing in a few minutes. Responses received are rapid and detailed too. The benefits availed by the employers are various. Employers have the opportunity to provide all the qualifications and characteristics that are necessary for a job. This ensures that only those who are qualified and capable are called for an interview. Right from the initial stages, both parties know and specify exactly what they are looking for. Hence, the time spent on hiring is reduced by as much as 65%. Also, in critical situations, companies can fulfill their manpower requirements through online recruitment portals.

Jobseeker’s Advantage

The jobseekers too can post their resumes on jobsites and receive quick responses to their job applications. You might be satisfied with your current work situation, but you can constantly be a part of the job market and receive updates concerning better options and opportunities. One always has the option of going through the job listings in the mail inbox. The hassle of running around and waiting for interview calls is prevented. You could be sitting in New Delhi and searching for a job in Bangalore or Calcutta. Hence, geographical barriers are broken.

Prevention of bias and inequality

After contact is established between an employee and an employer, the internet ensures that there is quick exchange of information between them. All the candidates are treated equally and merit is the basis on which a person gets a job. Therefore, the process is fair and employees are not victims of personal bias and preferences. Only quality candidates are interviewed through this method. Similarly, since there is no regulation on which companies are allowed to post job listings, big and small companies are alike and can search for qualified candidates through the same medium.

The preparation of resumes and the posting of jobs, the interview calls and the salary negotiations-the procedure involved in hiring remains the same. The internet just ensures that the process is more efficient and beneficial for both the employees and the employers.

Most importantly, this entire process is for free. You do not need to pay any money to post resumes and be a part of the job market. It’s a financially beneficial practice for the employers too.

The Internet and Mobile Association of India conducted a survey on online recruitment and concluded that the number of Indians seeking jobs online is expected to cross 9.2 million in the year 2006-2007. This signifies that online recruitment is definitely here to stay!

A leading USA online jobs portal

By: lazy

When I search for jobs at USA Online Jobs , I have come across some great job offers and have submitted my resume to various companies for review. I was lucky enough to receive several interviews. I have accepted a job with a big company in another area of the United States. I was more than happy to relocate and my family stood behind me one hundred percent. Because I used this job search site, I was able to select what job I would be interested in and in what location I would like to relocate too. Since I am a computer operator analysis, I needed to find employment with a company that still uses in house services.

I was surprised at how easy it was to use the USA Jobs site to search for a job in my field and also all the locations I could choose from without having to browse through jobs I was not interested in or the location. I say it took me about one month to find the perfect job and then it was just a matter of moving my family. The company also helped with this as well, they were more than happy to help pay for some of my relocation fees since they really wanted me to work with their company.

If you need a good place to look for jobs, I recommend USA Online Jobs because of the ease of use and the large database of jobs offered. Even if you are looking for a technical job or an office job, you can find many postings from employers everywhere. You can also have job listings emailed to you when something in your field becomes available. I really enjoyed this nice thing about the job site. If I was out for the day, I could look in my email to see if anything new was available for me to send my resume.

I have to agree with you about USA Online Jobs, I also found the site very helpful in finding employment. I wanted to stay in my own area, therefore I did a search for employers in my city and in a field, I was familiar with just the same. It only took me a couple of weeks and I was once again working. It was nice to have everything in one area and I enjoyed having job announcements emailed to my inbox so I did not have go there every day. I would have say this site has potential to become the number one job search site. I enjoy reading about other people who have had success finding work, therefore I had to stop by and tell you that I was also a success story because I used USA Online Jobs. It is always nice to know we can all find work with the help of the internet.

I am now searching for work on USA Online Jobs and did not know until I read here, that I could have job alerts emailed to my inbox. I thank you for the bit of information. I am actively searching for work in the accounting business and really do not want to leave my home, so it might take me a little longer. My town is small, but I have seen that other areas around me have job opportunities. I hope to be another success story in the near future, which I am confident I will be because there are many different locations to choose from on the job boards. I like to use a few other places as well, but I always seem to have more choices at USA Online Jobs. They seem to have a user-friendly site and I can navigate around it easily.

I had to stop by and let you know that I found USA Online Jobs helpful towards finding a home job opportunity. I was surprised to see it there and decided to check it out further. I work for a medical practice with four doctors. I go to their office once every two days to pick up tapes for transcribing and then I return home where I work in my home office.

This was a great opportunity that I found at USA Online Jobs and had to share my story with you. I am not running my own transcribing business and making enough money to support myself without having to sit in a stuff office all day. I like the freedom I have and I would never have found this great job anywhere else, so I think the website is great and I agree with everyone else. It is a nice site to find the perfect job.
