                                                         Example of e-recruitment system

The next topic I learnt in HRIS class is an e-recruitment system or online recruitment system. Before this I have see about the application job by online and I do not know about what the system used for it, the function, and all about e-recruitment system but now I learnt about the e-recruitment system. From this topic, I learnt about the definition of e-recruitment system. E-recruitment system is an online job application and processing system that allows employers to advertise their job openings, and for candidates to submit their applications online.


During learn this topic, Dr. NurNaha also highlight several aspects in the e-recruitment system topic. One of the aspects is a word of ‘content management. Dr. Nurnaha has asked in the class about the meaning of the ‘content management’. I am very worry because I do not know the answer. Content management is actually about the clear arrangement of data or information on the screen so that user can see the data or the information. Dr. also asks about Graphic User Interface (GUI) and I understand what is GUI.

From the e-recruitment system topic, I also learnt about the objectives, component, function and application, advantages and disadvantages, and implication on management of the e-recruitment system. With the more explanation and discussion of the topic by Dr. NurNaha, I clear and understand the e-recruitment system.

From this topic, I know the importance of the e-recruitment system which is can benefit to the organization. One of the advantages using the e-recruitment system is reduction in the time for recruitment (over 65 percent of the hiring time) and one of the disadvantages of using the system is screening and checking the skill mapping and authenticity of million of resumes is a problem and time consuming exercise for organizations. This information gathered in this reflection is useful for me to my future use when I get job in human resource field.
