The internet comes of age with ontine recruitment - Both jobseekers and employers are now using the internet as a serious tool in the search for jobs and suitable applicants. However, online recruitment and selection are not without their problems for employers and, while the internet revolution is moving along at a rapid pace, there remain practical difficulties that employers are struggling to overcome. This, our first survey of employers' experience in this area, provides feedback from 105 organisations, of which three-quarters use the iiiterdet for recruitment and one quarter do not. So far, many employers have looked to commercial websites as vehicles for their online recruitment activities, partly, we suspect, because their own corporate websites have not been ready to handle this function. Indeed, few employers in our survey tell us thai their corporate sites were set up having recruitment as one of the parameters or design criteria. Now, though, recruiters are looking to use internal websites for their hiring activities, and this type of use is set to replace external sources as the most popular means of filling vacancies through the internet. Close behind, as a trend, lie intranets: organisations? internal communications networks. So far, many recruiters are dissatisfied with the user-friendliness or content of intranets, but, again, many see this as a prime area of growth for their electronic recruitment activity.
