The main objective of this study is to analyze the impact of aspects of Organizational Culture on the Effectiveness of the Performance Management System (PMS) in the Health Care Organization at Thanjavur. Organizational Culture and PMS play a crucial role in present-day organizations in achieving their objectives. PMS needs employees’ cooperation to achieve its intended objectives. Employees' cooperation depends upon the organization’s culture. The present study uses exploratory research to examine the relationship between the Organization's culture and the Effectiveness of the Performance Management System. The study uses a Structured Questionnaire to collect the primary data. For this study, Thirty-six non-clinical employees were selected from twelve randomly selected Health Care organizations at Thanjavur. Thirty-two fully completed questionnaires were received.
Living in 21st century in itself reminds all of us the necessity of police and its administration. As more and more we are entering into the modern society and culture, the more we require the services of the so called ‘Khaki Worthy’ men i.e., the police personnel. Whether we talk of Indian police or the other nation’s police, they all have the same recognition as they have in India. But as already mentioned, their services and requirements are different after the like 26th November, 2008 incidents, where they without saving their own lives has sacrificed themselves without any hitch and without caring about their respective family members and wards. In other words, they are like our heroes and mentors who can guide us from the darkness of fear, militancy, corruption and other dark sides of life and so on. Now the question arises, if Gandhi would have been alive today, what would have been his reaction/opinion to the police and its functioning? Would he have some thing different in his mind now what he had been in his mind before the partition or would he be going to start some Satyagraha in the form of some improvement in the functioning of the police administration? Really these questions or rather night mares can come to any one’s mind, when there is too much confusion is prevailing in our minds, when there is too much corruption in the society and when the polices working is also in the questioning because of one or the other case throughout the India. It is matter of great concern that we have to thing over our administration and our practical approach because the police personals are also like us, they are part and parcel of our society and among one of us, so why we all are pin pointing towards them.

ATTRITION IN THE IT INDUSTRY DURING COVID-19 PANDEMIC: LINKING EMOTIONAL INTE...IAEME Publication
Globally, Millions of dollars were spent by the organizations for employing skilled Information Technology (IT) professionals. It is costly to replace unskilled employees with IT professionals possessing technical skills and competencies that aid in interconnecting the business processes. The organization’s employment tactics were forced to alter by globalization along with technological innovations as they consistently diminish to remain lean, outsource to concentrate on core competencies along with restructuring/reallocate personnel to gather efficiency. As other jobs, organizations or professions have become reasonably more appropriate in a shifting employment landscape, the above alterations trigger both involuntary as well as voluntary turnover.

ROLE OF SOCIAL ENTREPRENEURSHIP IN RURAL DEVELOPMENT OF INDIA - PROBLEMS AND ...IAEME Publication
The majority of the population in India lives in villages. The village is the back bone of the country. Village or rural industries play an important role in the national economy, particularly in the rural development. Developing the rural economy is one of the key indicators towards a country’s success. Whether it be the need to look after the welfare of the farmers or invest in rural infrastructure, Governments have to ensure that rural development isn’t compromised. The economic development of our country largely depends on the progress of rural areas and the standard of living of rural masses. Village or rural industries play an important role in the national economy, particularly in the rural development. Rural entrepreneurship is based on stimulating local entrepreneurial talent and the subsequent growth of indigenous enterprises. It recognizes opportunity in the rural areas and accelerates a unique blend of resources either inside or outside of agriculture. Rural entrepreneurship brings an economic value to the rural sector by creating new methods of production, new markets, new products and generate employment opportunities thereby ensuring continuous rural development. Social Entrepreneurship has the direct and primary objective of serving the society along with the earning profits. So, social entrepreneurship is different from the economic entrepreneurship as its basic objective is not to earn profits but for providing innovative solutions to meet the society needs which are not taken care by majority of the entrepreneurs as they are in the business for profit making as a sole objective. So, the Social Entrepreneurs have the huge growth potential particularly in the developing countries like India where we have huge societal disparities in terms of the financial positions of the population. Still 22 percent of the Indian population is below the poverty line and also there is disparity among the rural & urban population in terms of families living under BPL. 25.7 percent of the rural population & 13.7 percent of the urban population is under BPL which clearly shows the disparity of the poor people in the rural and urban areas. The need to develop social entrepreneurship in agriculture is dictated by a large number of social problems. Such problems include low living standards, unemployment, and social tension. The reasons that led to the emergence of the practice of social entrepreneurship are the above factors. The research problem lays upon disclosing the importance of role of social entrepreneurship in rural development of India. The paper the tendencies of social entrepreneurship in India, to present successful examples of such business for providing recommendations how to improve situation in rural areas in terms of social entrepreneurship development. Indian government has made some steps towards development of social enterprises, social entrepreneurship, and social in- novation, but a lot remains to be improved.
OPTIMAL RECONFIGURATION OF POWER DISTRIBUTION RADIAL NETWORK USING HYBRID MET...IAEME Publication
Distribution system is a critical link between the electric power distributor and the consumers. Most of the distribution networks commonly used by the electric utility is the radial distribution network. However in this type of network, it has technical issues such as enormous power losses which affect the quality of the supply. Nowadays, the introduction of Distributed Generation (DG) units in the system help improve and support the voltage profile of the network as well as the performance of the system components through power loss mitigation. In this study network reconfiguration was done using two meta-heuristic algorithms Particle Swarm Optimization and Gravitational Search Algorithm (PSO-GSA) to enhance power quality and voltage profile in the system when simultaneously applied with the DG units. Backward/Forward Sweep Method was used in the load flow analysis and simulated using the MATLAB program. Five cases were considered in the Reconfiguration based on the contribution of DG units. The proposed method was tested using IEEE 33 bus system. Based on the results, there was a voltage profile improvement in the system from 0.9038 p.u. to 0.9594 p.u.. The integration of DG in the network also reduced power losses from 210.98 kW to 69.3963 kW. Simulated results are drawn to show the performance of each case.

2. The Rise of Virtual Hiring-A Study on Emerging Tools of Employee Recruitment
https://iaeme.com/Home/journal/JOM 17 editor@iaeme.com
created a more expansive space of acceptance and demand for contingent workers. This
changing landscape of recruitment and selection is a great relief for the interviewees for more
than one reason. They no longer need to take full-day leaves from their offices to commute to
far-off places, compete in their minds with other candidates while evaluating the crowd in the
waiting room, or stress about meeting an acquaintance. This has even limited the recruiting
timeline for organizations, as successive rounds of interviews can be scheduled at the earliest.
With many interviews being conducted online now, most such first-world-seeming issues are
to be resolved. Amazingly, in the last few decades, and primarily as a result of developments in
the digital age, significant changes in the business environment have taken place, and been
experienced both in the technological environment and information technology. International
competition and the globalization process direct working norms, while management and human
factors direct us towards new targets and policies. The new needs created by industrialization
and technological changes have necessitated enterprises to renew themselves, to adopt new
working and production techniques, and to apply modern business and personnel principles.
These changes have not merely influenced the tasks related to information management but also
caused important developments in many other unrelated areas. Among these managerial areas
that have been affected by these developments, human resource management processes have
lived through noteworthy transitions, as well, new technological trends have gained enormous
importance in human resource management processes. While companies try to adapt to
changing conditions and a new global order, the concept of human resources management,
which is based on the principles of meeting and developing the capabilities, knowledge,
creativity and needs of individuals, has started to be used instead of the narrow concept of
personnel management, a principle which expresses all activities related to employees. E-
human resources management has gained momentum due to the increased use of in-house
computers and communication technologies and the accumulation of knowledge in in-house
networks. In addition, rapid changes in communication technologies, new regulations, and an
increasingly competitive environment in our economic lives have led enterprises to seek new
solutions. These developments in the business environment enabled the creation of real-time
and interactive business technologies that had not existed before the 1990’s when classical
methods of recruitment were prevalent. Especially, web based technologies and online business
processes have become popular among both practitioners and academicians- especially after the
1990s with the popularity of e-trade that had increased in the markets. Owing to the
developments in IT processes, the last few decades have witnessed the intense and dynamic
development of IT and its impact in various human resource jobs. Electronic Human Resource
Management, namely, e-HRM have come about as a process that involves the use of web-based
technologies for providing services regarding human resource management. Generally, the
concept of e-HR refers to the application of strategies, policies, and practices related to human
resources in organizations with support or full reliance on web technology. The application of
IT technologies and its innovative solutions changed the manners thatHR professionals carry
on within their different HR activities. Mostly activities such as collection, keeping, and
updating of employees’ data, employee training, and performance management underwent
changes and, activities in the field of recruitment and the selection of candidates are among the
activities that drastically changed, attracting the attention of modern companies of the digital
era. E-HR technology has begun to be used by multiple sectors including employees of the
HRM department and other employees in the organization, potential employees, and as well as
the management of the organization. In fact, the term e-HR has its origin in the 1990’s, with
the idea of the emergence of e-commerce. As in the case with e-commerce, the prefix “e” was
used in HRM, which resulted in the name of e-HR or in some usages e-HRM concept. Later it
become popular to use e-HR in explaining all HRM functions involving the use of internet and
the latest technologies. In fact, E-HR can be explained as a way of conducting HR strategies in
3. K. Balasubramanian
https://iaeme.com/Home/journal/JOM 18 editor@iaeme.com
companies through a willing, conscious, and direct support of full use of internet based
technologies. As in the case in the term e-commerce, e-HR refers to conducting human resource
transactions with the help of the Internet. The use of the Internet ensured human resources
would function with the ease to reach and use information at any time and as an important
function of HRM, the recruitment function has experienced many changes in this period.
Technologically speaking, the antecedent of e-HR was human resource information systems.
These systems were focused on automating the human resources management systems.
Although, Human resources information systems were not successful in creating the ideal
internal virtual value chain. Indeed, E-HR has evolved in three stages. The first stage was the
most primitive and widespread one including implementation of e-HR in publishing
information, routine reports, and news related to all kinds of human resources activities. It is
both the simplest form of e-HR activities and also the most restricted one since it includes one-
way communication and a top-down information flow from human resources management
department professionals to the rest of the employees in the organization. And, companies
mostly prefer their intranets as the basic information delivery tool. In this method, generic
content information is published from HR to employees like policies, procedures, and daily
company news etc. The second stage encompasses the automation of human resources processes
that encompasses the simultaneous use of intranets with extranets Different digital applications
are combined in this human resources mode and paperwork is replaced by mostly digital input.
In the third stage, the transformation of human resources to a fully electronic mode is seen. In
addition, this fully electronic mode is largely composed of online tools used with the help of
online web applications that are useful in tracking tasks for recruitment, performance
management, wage management, and career management. In this paper we have discussed
recent trends that have become popular as a result of the changes in working habits of the HR
professional within the modern digital era. First of all, one of the latest trends, namely
outsourcing of recruitment processes, will be explained in detail since it has come about as a
new dimension- workforce management for recruitment and selection in modern era and then,
we will focus on e-recruitment, as well as its benefits and different mechanisms that e-
recruitment can be applied through. We will focus on the web-based recruitment process as one
of the most prominent novel recruitment methods of the 21st century. In the last five years, it
has not only become quite normal to collect information about candidates via Yahoo or Google
but also through social networks such as Instagram, LinkedIn, Facebook, and Twitter- based on
the networking of individuals. In these social media networks, people often place information
about their personal and professional information that many Human resources managers find
valuable in evaluating candidates. Mostly, this information is the kind of information that is
impossible to detect during the selection processes, such as job interviews, exams and reference
controls. As in the examples mentioned above, in this paper, a comprehensive analysis of new
employee recruitment methods will be covered. In the design of this paper, the benefits of the
latest technology, digital trends, and the effects of these trends on modern employee recruitment
processes have been taken into consideration. In the study, we have adopted an approach that
views recruitment as a purposeful practice activity wherein modern scientific and technological
achievements are applied in modern enterprises. Additionally, confirming the effects of new
digital habits, new technological tools, and modernmethods of attracting and selecting potential
candidates has been targeted by showing both their advantages and disadvantages for candidates
and enterprises.
2. E-RECRUITMENT
In addition to radically changing our social and economic life, the Internet has significantly
influenced the governance of institutions. According to Tong and Sivanand (2005), due to the
increase in global competition, business life has become more skill intensive, and recruiting
4. The Rise of Virtual Hiring-A Study on Emerging Tools of Employee Recruitment
https://iaeme.com/Home/journal/JOM 19 editor@iaeme.com
and attracting the right applicants at the right time has also become more important and tougher
than ever. In fact, the conventional recruitment processes cannot meet the needs of timely and
effectively attracting qualified candidates (Yoon Kin Tong, 2009). Thanks to the integration of
the developments in communication technologies and computer architectures, data transfer and
sharing studies have revealed the structures, called networks by computer networks or working
networks, are widespread use in business applications. With the development of information
technologies, great changes have occurred in business and technology, and job applications and
human resources recruitment processes are affected by these changes. An important human
resources function that institutions use effectively from communication technologies is
recruitment. As mentioned before, e-recruitment mechanisms started to become more and more
popular owing to their advantages in allowing human resources professionals to target a great
number of candidates at a small cost. The use of technology has taken an important place in the
recruitment and selection of personnel. The development of the number of users on the internet
has been reflected in the number of companies that provide parallel personnel selection services.
The increase in the number of CVs in the candidate database is one of the important reasons for
this development (Peters, 2001). Nowadays, many corporations are using online platforms such
as job-boards, corporate recruitment sites, and social media websites in their recruitment
practices. Online recruitment is preferred since it is both cheap and flexible but also can be
utilized as a tool for image management. Without a doubt, organizational websites help form
first impressions for applicants, and the information provided on these websites are effective for
candidates’ attitudes regarding the firms. If the job seekers come across as neat, transparent,
and appealing they tend to react more positively towards the employers and their demands. The
first contact with the company for many employees is the recruitment process and the interview
process. Moreover, recruitment portals used for many companies (as intermediaries for catching
new CVs) are also helpful in saving time and money for the applicants. They can get in touch
with the employers without spending much money, compared to the cases wherein classical
methods of job search are preferred by the applicants. Moreover, they do not spend money for
transportation, they are often user-friendly, and they give enough information which is
convenient for reaching a bigger pool of candidates. In fact, e-recruitment refers to an umbrella
term involving all kinds of recruitment activities carried out by using various electronic means
and the Internet (Holm et al., 2014). It implies publishing job posts (namely open positions
online), having an online fill-in form available for applicants, and a web-based database existing
to store the resumes of applicants (Brandão, Silva, & dos Santos, 2019). E-recruitment
encompasses three main stages: attracting, sorting, and contacting applicants. The first stage
covers all the processes regarding the suitable design of online portals and tracking potential
candidates. The next stage encompasses screening candidate profiles through sophisticated on-
line mechanisms and tests. In the last stage, in getting in touch with applicants, e-recruitment
tools are quite successful, owing to the fact that they provide efficient communication
mechanisms to be automated (Holm et al., 2014). In fact, e-recruitment allows candidates to
have contact with more job opportunities and reach a greater flow of information (Sylva &
Mol, 2009). They can learn more details about the vacant position and the job characteristics of
that position through job ads. With the help of e-HR systems, organizations can be seen in
myriad career portals and can attract astronomical quantities of applicants with a myriad
number of qualifications. In most e-recruitment processes, companies use an automated system
wherein candidates are ranked according to the scores they get after being evaluated by a set of
objective and credible criteria Moreover, in the e-recruitment process, specialized selection
tests, such as knowledge tests and personality tests that can be applied through internet, provide
online feedback to the recruitment professionals about the qualifications of the candidates. That
is to say, in e-recruitment, myriad preliminary online procedures can be utilized ensuring the
elimination of candidates that do not fit the demands of the vacant position (Brandao, Silva,
5. K. Balasubramanian
https://iaeme.com/Home/journal/JOM 20 editor@iaeme.com
& dos Santos, 2019). For example, computer-based tests, the design of technology-based
assessments, multivariable feedback with computers, design of descriptive interviews for the
Internet, use of technology for supplying and eliminating candidates, are all important
applications. In the development of tests and evaluations, interpersonal correct decision-making
scale, situational decision-making inventory, personality assessments and measurement of their
validity are included. In fact, for many organizations, utilizing the internet in administering job
applications is very beneficial in comparison to traditional methods, owing to lower costs,
reduced hiring cycle period, and non-stop access for job seekers to the related job
advertisements- despite their physical location (Sylva and Mol, 2009). In companies using e-
recruitment, the location of applicants and the company become irrelevant in the recruitment
process. Most businesses incorporate e-recruitment technologies into their bodies through
recruitment sites or human resources pages on corporate websites. However, as recruitment sites
attract more attention from the candidates, many enterprises prefer to use the candidate pool of
these sites. They can easily reach members of career websites, online job seekers, and people
from different locations. Although the internet is a good source of choice for those who are just
starting out, it brings with it a number of problems in finding executive candidates. Since the
number of applicants is too high in e-recruitment, sometimes it becomes more difficult for a
unique job seeker to be chosen for a face- to- face interview after they surpass filters. The people
who are in managerial positions use their friends, consultants or private recruitment agencies
such as headhunters instead of online recruitment portals when they are looking for work
(Mornell, 2000: 262). It is regarded as a prestigious way of looking for jobs in upper-
hierarchical positions, and it becomes a matter of ego to be compelled to apply for a job as a
newly graduated or unexperienced candidate.
2.1. Advantages of E-Recruitment
Doherty (2010) claims that as an indirect effect of e-recruitment for companies we should take
into account the positive perception created by the company as a modern and technology-
friendly organization. With the help of adoption of e-recruitment, the company can create an
image wherein e-recruitment creates an image that the company is innovative and open minded.
That perception helps the organization to at- tract young talent, high potential, successful
candidates with high expectations from their organizations. Namely, companies gain prestige
through the use of the latest technology. With the help of e-recruitment systems, companies may
utilize their job ads to create a favorable brand and company image in the eyes of their potential
candidates. Typically, during job searches, job seekers are often curious about who they can
work for and what are the properties of these potential employers. That is why an elaborate job
advertisement will positively shape the candidates’ decisions (Kaur, 2015). In companies,
mostly applicant tracking systems are used by companies in order to manage the recruiting
process. Through these systems, job seekers’ job applications and companies’ vacant position
openings are held electronically. And, these systems are often provided by web-based
applications. Job openings from companies’ applicant tracking systems are often aggregated
by “job board” services tracking millions of job advertisements, and these services let
candidates perform simple keyword searches for finding vacant positions. Job seekers typically
apply for vacant positions by uploading CVs that are mostly manually examined and evaluated
by expert human resources professionals (Faliagka et al., 2012). And unfortunately, only a
small fraction of all candidates receive an offer for a one-on- one job interview. Sector leaders,
such as Jobsites and Monster, have added a degree of automation in their candidate screening
process that is integrated with the widely known applicant tracking functions (Faliagka et al.,
2012). This automation makes it a bit easier for human resources professionals to track the
applicants and to filter the most suitable candidates. The automated version also makes it easier
for candidates to come across the kind of job advertisements that are most suitable to their
6. The Rise of Virtual Hiring-A Study on Emerging Tools of Employee Recruitment
https://iaeme.com/Home/journal/JOM 21 editor@iaeme.com
qualifications. Applicant personality traits are crucial for applicant selection in many job
positions but are generally overlooked in existing e-recruitment systems. Normally, applicant’
personality and individual characteristics are evaluated during the face-to-face interview,
which is only applied to the applicants that can pass the online pre-screening stage (Faliagka
et al., 2012). But, in the automated version of e- recruitment, clues from all applicants’
personality can be obtained through their online applications. By using web mining techniques,
these automated systems gather preliminary data regarding an applicants’ personality that can
be important in the pre-screening stage. Previously, this task has been undertaken by human
resources professionals manually, which both time and effort is consuming. Recruiters, which
are widely acclaimed to perform background checks on prospective employees, take advantage
of their web presence. However, in the automated e-recruitment processes, it is much quicker
and easier. For instance, in these systems the candidate can be asked to share a link to his
personal blog, owing to the fact that personal blogs encompass a wide range of information and
linguistic characteristics reflecting the realities of the blogger’s personal characteristics.
JobVite (2012) claims that social media can also be considered a very significant tool for
employee referrals, reducing time spent in this process and an important part of costs incurred
during hiring. Since potential applicants of a certain company can reach the related job post
without, we can talk about a greater number of applicants. And, the applicants can access the
related job post via many different kinds of electronic devices including smartphones, tablets,
laptops, and computers- enabling them to apply for the job. Moreover, e-recruitment processes
serve as an enhanced user experience allowing an entire recruitment process which can be
managed from one central point, allowing recruiters to post vacantpositions, accept CVs,search
and screen applicants, filter CVs, and contact applicants when necessary (Kaur, 2015). In the
same way, applicants can track their applications’ progress at each step of the recruitment
process from their own personal account. They can manage their own account and they can
update it whenever it is necessary. Thus, this enhanced user experience creates satisfaction for
both the employer and job seeker, encouraging quicker and more satisfying recruitment process.
Furthermore, the employer or the recruiter full control during e-recruitment. He/she can
contact job seekers directly, does not need a middleman for searching, filtering, assessing or
selecting the most suitable applicant (Kaur, 2015). And, the recruiter can give instant feedback
regarding the updates made by the job seeker. For example, when an update is made on a job
seeker’s CV, the recruiter can easily get the newest version of the CV and can reevaluate the
CV instantly.
2.2. Disadvantages of E-Recruitment
During the e-recruitment process, job seekers generally upload their CVs in a loose format to
the related e-recruitment portal, making it necessary to be considered by an experienced and
qualified recruiter; thus, creating a great asymmetry of resources needed by job seekers and e-
recruiters and mostly in- creasing the quantity of unqualified job applicants (Faliagka et al.,
2012). It is so easy to apply for a job via this online system that many people apply to several
jobs without much considering the details of the job advertisement. Sometimes, they even apply
to jobs without even reading the details of the job advertisement, or even worse, people
sometimes apply to the ads they even would not prefer to go to its if they were invited. The fact
that most of the career sites do not request membership fees from the candidates, the applicants
do not pay any fees for the application, and there is no sanction for the applications made with
a serious intent can lead candidates to apply for jobs that they do not really want. This means
unnecessary confusion for the recruiter, as many CVs are incongruent with the position and a
lot of candidates are eliminated after they are filtered. Thus, less serious applicants are also a
problem in the e-recruitment system. Owing to easy and free access to job ads, many job seekers
apply to a lot of irrelevant job ads in order to learn their own market value since it is nearly
7. K. Balasubramanian
https://iaeme.com/Home/journal/JOM 22 editor@iaeme.com
impossible to test whether the job seeker is serious or not. That is why, only if the job seeker is
invited to the interview can the recruiter understand whether he really wants the position or not.
But, if it turns out that the job seeker is not serious; unfortunately, it means some serious ones
have been missed and have not been invited to the interview (Kaur, 2015). And, this is
something very difficult to prevent due to the general working principles of e-recruitment sites.
However, people, especially elderly employees who are not accustomed to using technological
tools may avoid providing applications via internet due to their technology bias. That is to say,
an e-recruitment applicants’ reactions to the online system and job advertisements in this
systems are affected by the perceived efficiency and perceived user-friendliness of the e-
recruitment system. Namely, it is affected by whether or not the applicant views the job
advertisement as easy to conceive and apply for. On the other hand, related research indicates
that use of social media, internet, and web based information search techniques that are
generally preferred in e-recruitment may sometimes create bias in the recruitment and selection
process. Unfortunately, drawing conclusions based on web-based information, social media
comments, or photos- making deductions from unrelated data- may mislead possible job
performance or person-organization fit expectations. On the other hand, in today’s technology,
corporate information is served to job seekers at lower costs that can cause misleading or
negative information from company-independent information sources that are impossible to
control. Furthermore, the candidate might come to the interview with all inaccurate knowledge
about the company that may result in a negative impression on both sides. Furthermore, since
the user-friendliness of the recruitment portal creates a positive or negative impression about
the professionalism of the company and the importance of the job in the related ad, it is
important to build a positive image through corporate web sites and online recruitment pages.
A sloppy corporate web page, a job posting with erroneous information, or oversimplification
can lead the candidate to underestimate the job and decide whether the company is a very
attractive place to work. Similarly, problems such as continuous errors in the online
recruitment portal, or corrupted data can hinder the progress of the user, and may cause the job
seeker to stop applying from this portal. When the related websites are designed properly,
candidates can perceive the company as a much more attractive one (Turban et al., 2001).
Possible outdated job ads are another possible disadvantage of e-recruitment. Sometimes,
recruiters forget to remove old job posts that have already been filled by a candidate- sometimes
by mistake or miscommunications between the human resources manager and therecruiter. And,
job seekers continue to apply for this position and the company gets flooded with unnecessary
CVs (Kaur, 2015) making things unnecessarily complicated and problematic. The job seekers
applying to this nonexistent vacant position become more anxious in time and start to embrace
negative emotions regarding the company. This makes it risky for the company to attract CVs
of these applicants for real vacant positions in the future.
3. EMERGING TRENDS IN RECRUITMENT
Currently the recruitment and selection approach is undergoing tremendous changes fueled by
technological innovations and changes in strategic outlook. The following section examines
some of the key trends impacting recruitment and selection process.
3.1. Corporate Talent Network
Corporate "talent networks" are online platform for promoting the company brand name. Its
main objective is to attract new talent from a variety of sources which includes job candidates,
fans, employees, alumni, partners, suppliers and even customers. It is very popular among the
big firms and are increasingly being adopted by smaller and medium size firms as well. A talent
network serves as an advertising and promotional hub for the company brand name. It is used
8. The Rise of Virtual Hiring-A Study on Emerging Tools of Employee Recruitment
https://iaeme.com/Home/journal/JOM 23 editor@iaeme.com
to communicate job openings, career information, and other company information. The
contents are usually tailored and targeted for each specific candidate.
3.2. Building an end-to-end Talent Brand
More and more companies today are focusing on building end to end talent brand. A talent
brand refers to how the company is being perceived by its current employees, past employees
and prospective employees. It is a method for communicating and showcasing the company
corporate culture in real time. Companies today are developing strong talent brand strategy to
reduce their cost per hire and lower turnover rates. A talent brand is something that is created
via the joint efforts of the marketing department and the HR department.
3.3. Use of Applicant Tracking Software (ATS)
One fast emerging trend is rapid adoption of Applicant Tracking Software (ATS). ATS are
designed specifically to meet the recruitment needs of a company. These software focus on
managing the entire recruitment process, monitoring ad campaigns, and creating an excellent
candidate experience. ATS can be used to post job openings, screen resumes, and generate
interview requests to potential candidates by e-mail. Other features include individual applicant
tracking, requisition tracking, automated resume ranking, customized input forms, pre-
screening questions and response tracking, and multilingual capabilities.
3.4. Develop Mobile Recruitment Strategy
Recent surveys indicate that increasingly large number of prospective candidates use mobile
devices to access the internet and carry out personal tasks including job search. Hence, a
growing trend among large firms is to create a mobile career site built specifically to meet the
needs of the mobile device users. The aim is to use mobile recruitment to post jobs and create
postings that can be easily shared on social media and readily responded to.
3.5. Growing Emphasis on using Social Networks
Over the past few years, social networking sites such as LinkedIn and Facebook have rapidly
gained prominence amongst internet users. These sites provide wealth of information on
prospective candidates. Sites such as LinkedIn, and to an extent Facebook, provide specific
recruitment related tools and analytic software to improve the recruitment process. Their aim is
to help companies identify and locate the right talent for their company. Not surprisingly many
firms have actively started using social networking sites for soliciting and recruiting new
talents. The top preferred site is LinkedIn followed by Facebook and others.
3.6. Increased Focused on Passive Candidates
Traditionally recruiters have focused on active candidates-those actively seeking new jobs.
However, research has shown that vast majority of prospects (as high as 73%) are passive
candidates, that is they are not actively seeking jobs but are open to new opportunities and
offers. This was found to be especially true in the case of social networking sites such as
LinkedIn where vast majority of prospects were passive candidates. Hence, firms today are
providing more and more emphasis on passive candidates. Indeed, much of the mentioned
trends are aimed at attracting passive candidates.
3.7. Corporate Websites
Corporate websites are important arenas for self-expression of companies and useful in reaching
the exterior and interior customers of a company. Corporate websites have become an important
source of information in the job application process and, they are significant communication
9. K. Balasubramanian
https://iaeme.com/Home/journal/JOM 24 editor@iaeme.com
channels between companies and job seekers (Araujo & Ramos, 2002). Sometimes companies
prefer using merely their corporate websites to attract new applications. Corporate websites are
important tools in E-recruitment applications in both reaching a large area of workforce and
informing candidates about the institution. In the job advertisements published on websites,
institutions give many messages about themselves, as well as the job, and the characteristics of
the candidates to be placed in this position. All information in the advertisements gives
important clues about what kind of employee can be employed. These clues can significantly
affect the candidates’ application to an institution. On the one hand, corporate websites have
the function of representing the organization. Therefore, the content of the web site should be
prepared in accordance with the values, norms, and goals of the company and should be
constantly updated so that possible problems can be easily resolved. Corporate websites have
the potential to provide applicants with real-time feedback about person-organization fit.
Namely, job seekers can effectually compare their own properties, job characteristics, and
demands of the employer company through the information given in online job ad and through
their examinations of the related corporate websites.
3.8. Private Employment Agencies
Private employment agencies are also important vehicles for online recruitment. They attract
millions of candidate resumes through their websites and online employment platforms. And,
through these portals and their own websites, thousands of employers are announced for vacant
positions. Special employment bureaus use all the HR services: telephone and face-to-face
interview techniques (which are traditional methods), collecting the resumes of the candidate,
sending emails to the candidate for email applications, and applying to the employer. Candidates
earn many advantages in job searches with the help of private employment agencies. Through
these agencies, it is possible for vacancies to be offered automatically by the site; in addition,
the vacancies can be searched according to various criteria, the job application and evaluation
process can be taken continuously, and candidates can get consultancy services. Private
employment agencies function in almost all sectors in employee recruitment, they have a
mediating role in the recruitment staff in many sectors. And, these offices are involved in
recruitment at all levels and positions by submitting ads through the online employment
platform- or through their websites in lower and mid-level recruitment. Finally, they use
headhunting methods for recruiting candidates for upper-level positions. This “third-party” e-
recruitment companies have become the second most popular online traders in both the United
States and Europe (Tong, 2008). They act as intermediaries between job seekers and employee
seekers. These third-party recruiter companies give services to organizations that prefer to
utilize online job advertisements for attracting and screening potential candidates’ CV’s at
lower costs compared to more conventional recruitment techniques. In fact, in most countries
e-recruiter companies serve the job seekers free of charge in posting their CVs online (Galanaki,
2002). Owing to free CV sending opportunities, it is inevitable that job seekers freely send their
CVs to different intermediary e-recruiters; thus, creating bigger and bigger candidate pools for
organizations, and making it more advantageous to work with these intermediary e-recruitment
firms. Therefore, the rapid growth of the third-party e-recruitment web sites has altered the way
jobseekers are looking for jobs.
3.9. Use of Social Media
In human resources management, social media, its structure based on advanced internet
technology, and its many different and new features have had an ever increasing effect. In the
recruitment processes, social media has become an important alternative for attracting
applicants. Social media can be considered an important tool for recruiting new employees. It
is a proper baseline for presenting the newest job opportunities, information regarding
10. The Rise of Virtual Hiring-A Study on Emerging Tools of Employee Recruitment
https://iaeme.com/Home/journal/JOM 25 editor@iaeme.com
companies, vacant positions, and challenging alternatives for candidates. With the help of social
media, companies can adopt speedier, efficient, and strategic recruitment processes. Social
media increases the ability of companies to target the most meaningful and congruent
candidates from a wide range of job seekers. For example, in the United States, 98% of
companies control the social media profiles of their applicants in their personnel selection
processes. According to this research data, Twitter ranked third with 49%, while Facebook
ranked second with 51%, and LinkedIn had the highest rank at 98%. This is why companies
also look at social media profiles as well as normal resumes. Social media acts a supplementary
tool in the recruitment process. For instance, LinkedIn is also an alternative channel for
professionals who are not actively looking for work but are open to new opportunities. Seeing
social media as just a resume repository means insufficiently using this channel. Most
businesses can also use social media to check their CVs with candidates. This is considered a
more effortless method of reference control but is sometimes considered to be more reliable.
On the one hand, search robots such as Google, Yahoo, and Yandex also provide the opportunity
to get extra information about candidates that can be added to the information already given by
the candidate in his/her CV. The increasing use of social media in a person’s life has reached a
level where human resources units must deal with this reality. First of all, merging the career
pages of the institutions with social media pages should be listed as the first steps towards
socialization. The fact that corporate career videos are given to YouTube is one of these
examples. In social media and networks, organizations not only use the brand identity as a user,
but also actively use and follow these sites. At this stage, organizations have started to manage
new communication platforms by creating a new team or using external sources (Bora, 2011).
At this point, there are also scholars studying different methods to evaluate candidates
according to their social media data. For example, Faliagka et al., (2012) developed a method
of ranking candidates by utilizing machine-learning algorithms for evaluating applicants that
makes linguistic analysis of candidates’ blogs and creates objective criteria that draw data from
a candidates’ LinkedIn account. For example, in Cares and Castellan’s (2011) study, the
recruitment and selection habits of Belgian human resources professionals have been examined
with an aim of understanding whether LinkedIn and Facebook are important tools in making
selections, regarding candidates. In the study, about 393 human resources professionals were
examined from various sectors and organizations and an onlinequestionnaire concerning the use
of Facebook and LinkedIn in recruitment processes has been applied. The results of the study
showed that both Facebook and LinkedIn act as supplementary tools in understanding
applicants and are used for finding additional information about applicants in order to decide
whether it is meaningful to invite them for the interview. However, sometimes the data received
from social media may not be so clear or may not realistically reflect the candidate. When
creating these data, users of the social networking site mostly do not have an initial intention of
preparing knowledge about themselves for recruiters, so this data may not ensure necessary
information has been productively portrayed for the recruitment process. And sometimes, it
may cause unlawful discrimination since the recruiter can find out information about the
applicant’s race, ethnic identity, age, political identity, sexual orientation, religion, and
disabilities (Pate, 2012). Since this type of searching occurs without the knowledge of the job
seeker, the recruiter can freely discriminate without the applicant’s knowledge, thus
deteriorating the fairness of the process and relevance of the search with the recruitment
process.
4. RECOMMENDATIONS
The modern era necessitates more technologically friendly and more proactive players in the
market. As a result, demanding employers and employees created new ways for dealing with
job searches and the recruitment process. In order to keep up with their rivals, companies should
11. K. Balasubramanian
https://iaeme.com/Home/journal/JOM 26 editor@iaeme.com
engage in e-recruitment processes to attract more demanding, younger, proactive, and qualified
candidates who are more prone to use technological applications and portals in their job
searches. And similarly, in order to reach a greater number of employers with higher prestige
and recognition.
5. FUTURE RESEARCH
This study focused to make a comprehensive conceptual examination of the novel recruitment
style, namely, e-recruitment. In further research, the advantages and disadvantages of the e-
recruitment process can be examined with the help of an empirical study. And in the research
model, the effects of the e- recruitment process can be analyzed for the efficiency and
effectiveness of the recruitment process. As well candidate satisfaction or employer satisfaction
can be analyzed with the help of this model. And, the extent of technology adoption in the e-
recruitment process should be analyzed regarding its effects on positive organizational
outcomes.
6. CONCLUSION
E-recruitment is defined as the actions and practices of the institution by using various
electronic tools to fill open positions effectively and efficiently. It is a technology-based process
wherein many recruitment applications such as online job vacancies, online interviews, and
online tests are utilized. E-recruitment provides speed and cost advantages for organizations to
design their websites, not only to receive job applications but also to make evaluations online.
For example, online business interviews and online tests are some of the applications that can
be included in this process. Despite all the positive results achieved through e-recruitment, some
companies are still hesitant to adapt to these new practices. Lack of expertise, the high costs of
adoption, lack of knowledge of the system, and reluctance to leave traditional approaches are
among the reasons for hesitation. However, beyond the above, the fact that many organizations
have prevented e-path tracking prefer to continue manual candidate tracking results in e-
recruitment system avoidance. Of course, there are some points that cause both applicants and
recruiters pause about e-recruitment. First of all, social profile screening used by most
companies during e recruitment process, is a debated issue. Some experts claim that it should
be illegal to pursue information this way. And, it can result in problems that end up in
lawsuits. Applicants can feel disturbed and they may be uncomfortable if they find out that their
social media accounts are secretly followed. This can be perceived as a violation of privacy. For
example, if a recruiter figures out some private aspects of an individual, like his ideological
preferences, and during the interview if he implies that he knows something about his
ideological preferences, the candidate could be disturbed and choose to sue the company as a
result. On the other hand, it is also possible that the information derived from social media is
falseor outdated. In fact, analyzing and reviewing applicants’ social network profiles, their posts,
comments, and photographs on the internet can both help to understand the persona attributes
of applicants and figure out if they fit the company culture or not (Kluemper & Rosen, 2009).
But, these attempts may also mislead the recruiter as Solvency and Ross (2012) suggest, as social
network activities may sometimes distort reality. Individuals may behave differently in social
media and they may behave differently in the work environment. They may willingly comply
with the values, norms and regulations of the company they are working for, despite their own
personal realities. In spite of its disadvantages, e-recruitment has positively affected the job
search process and the recruitment process and revolutionized the modern business life. Thanks
to the time, space, and money saved it has become a preferred recruitment method for many
companies and has made the recruitment processes of companies more modern. And it has made
things easier for many job seekers to reach their potential employers more cogently.
