BACKGROUND:
E-recruitment originated in the form of independent job sites called bulletin board systemsin the 1980s.
Initially only the U.S. universities andmilitary had access to Internet facilities. However,the PC revolution
that embraced the world in theearly 1990s changed the corporate landscapecompletely. Today more
than three-fourths of theFortune 500 companies use online recruiting andapproximately about 18
million people are postingtheir resumes on Internet portals such asMonster.com.The United States
started the global trend of e-recruitment when Taylor launched Monster.com in1994 (Murray, 2001)
with 20 clients and 200 jobopenings (Anonymous, 2007). Monster.com pioneered e-recruitment in the
U.S. and today is theleading Internet recruitment portalglobally.Monster.com launched the concept
of posting and storing resumes online (Mollison, 2001).Since those early days the number of siteshas
multiplied and the technology has, and will,continue to improve for the benefit of both recruiter and
jobseeker.

ensure that the new technologies and procedures are employed effectively while, at thesame time,
Meeting the fundamental goal of theorganisation. Although computers can play asignificant role in

misconceptions about computers. Nevertheless the wise and careful use of computersand information
technology can help maintainquality while keeping the costs in control in today’shighly competitive
environment.The rapid availability of completeinformation can result in savings in expenses.Therefore,
all functional areas should be inter-linkedso that data entered into the system from any of these points
may be accessible and used by all concerned.Today the computerised system has been accepted asan
