Abstract
A growing number of organizations use new technologies in Human Resource processes. Online recruitment tools allow receiving job applications, a quick triage and feedback to candidates. This exploratory research aims describing perceptions regarding this tool, using interviews with organizational informants and an online survey with potential job candidates. Results from the survey show that 46% of participants already used online recruitment, most being female (71%). More than 43% of these candidates said to have taken them less than a week to get feedback from the recruiting organization. Qualitative data suggests a dominant positive appraisal of this type of recruitment (53%). It’s considered a fast method and able to reach a wide audience. However, it is considered impersonal and there are some doubts regarding the control over the process and the veracity of the job ads. Organizations’ should consider the advantages and disadvantages associated to this type of recruitment, in order to optimize the process.
