Just ten years back, there were little or no online searches for jobs. However, now that has changed dramatically with online recruiting being employed by almost each and every business organisation including those related to IT. An increasing number of job seekers are now turning towards electronic resources to find IT jobs. These electronic resources can be anything ranging from websites to job postings to online job searching engines and internet classifieds. Other forms include local and national newspapers found online. All these facilitate the search for jobs. Also, most of the employers have now moved their focus to find job candidates online. IT is no different as jobs previously attained by word of mouth advertisement or through an advertisement in newspaper are now almost all found online. Most people searching for jobs now prefer to spend more time searching for jobs online rather than searching newspapers for ads. The online industry has become the primary resource for job searching. With online IT recruitment comes an improved process of recruitment with a streamlined and standardised approach, in contrast to the traditional and paper based recruitment. Online IT recruitment also allows for manual tasks such as filing, coding, sorting and applications all to be performed automatically. According to some experts, this has resulted in the average recruitment cycle being reduced to just one-third, compared to how long it took in the past. The second advantage that comes with online IT recruitment is that the enhanced efficiency of the process leads to its cost effectiveness. Some studies have suggested that many of the recruitment costs have been decreased after the implementation of an online system facility. Another advantage is the availability of applications such as quizzes, skill base evaluations and other tests which help identify suitable candidates. This helps in narrowing down the search by HR professionals. Though this has still not been employed extensively, in the next few years, it is expected to sweep online IT recruitment. The objective is to ensure that there be wouldn't be any need to engage with a large number of job candidates to find the best among them. These applications intend to ensure that search can now be suitably narrowed down to just a highly relevant few. As a result, this will save precious time for companies and a hectic schedule for the HR department. The advantages gained by those searching for jobs are many. No longer do they have to search numerous newspapers daily to look for advertisements. They also do not have to rely heavily on friends or acquaintances to inform them of an available job. Simply by logging on to the internet and employing the search engines, they can gain access to several jobs. Out of these many jobs, they can find out the ones that best suits them and then apply for a particular job where chances of their recruitment would be high.
