| TITLE | A Comparative Study of E-Recruitment and Traditional Recruitment Systems |
|---|---|
| ABSTRACT | The recruitment function has undergone a major transformation with the advancement of digital technologies. Organizations today increasingly rely on electronic recruitment (e-recruitment) systems alongside traditional recruitment methods to attract and select suitable candidates. This research paper presents a comparative analysis of e-recruitment and traditional recruitment systems with respect to efficiency, cost, reach, candidate quality, and organizational effectiveness. Traditional recruitment methods such as newspaper advertisements, employment exchanges, referrals, and walk-ins emphasize personal interaction but often involve higher costs and longer hiring cycles. In contrast, e-recruitment leverages online platforms, job portals, social media, and applicant tracking systems to streamline the hiring process. While e-recruitment offers speed, scalability, and broader access to talent, it also faces challenges such as application overload, lack of personal touch, and digital exclusion. The study concludes that neither system is universally superior; instead, a hybrid recruitment approach combining technological efficiency with human judgment provides the most effective solution for modern organizations. |
