The creation of this website was in direct response
to the assignment in my Human Resource Management class through Siena Heights
University. Assigned, was a research
paper on a topic that interested us pertaining to a “significant social justice
issue in human resource management.”
My choice for exploring Human Resource Management’s electronic-recruiting methods is in direct correlation with my personal experiences of job hunting. I am passionate with the “old-school” methods of job seeking and have always taken the responsibility of physically seeking work by walking into a company, asking to speak with the hiring manager, shaking their hand, and presenting my résumé. Now back in search of employment and diligently seeking work, I have found that not only do many employers not accept “hard copy” résumés anymore, the time consuming act of searching and applying for jobs online can be exhausting. I have personally been experiencing the guessing game of correct “keywords” to use as well. I wonder if I am being overlooked for the lack of correct wording, shortage of qualifications, or something else. I never hear any feedback, so I do not know.
The research was enlightening in gaining more insight to why employers have taken this route. It also shed light on their issues with the choice of utilizing e-recruitment. Today’s use of technology does not seem to be the answer, however, as it has become more cumbersome for not only the employer, but also the perspective employee. This I know.
