Brainstorm five advantages and five drawbacks of on-line recruitment.
Some of the benefits of an online recruiting agency are as follows:
• It has a low communication costs.
• It is convenient to access. Company and job information posted on the Net is easily accessible to job seekers 24 hours a day.
• Competitive advantage. Net technology allows recruiters to stay ahead of their competition.
• Greater advertising reach. Net advertising offers greater exposure to a larger audience than any other form of media.
• No time restrictions. Recruiting different time zones or working late at night is not a problem with the Net.

Disadvantages of online recruitment:

• Some description of a person will not match the description of candidate’s c.v.

• Too many candidates fill the form which makes it hard to choose the right person for the job also irrelevant applicant can apply for the job this waste a lot of time.

• It doesn’t always work because not every job role that is put online can or will be filled out. Some job applications are not easy to feel out and this lead to applicant being impatient.

• Some jobs require specific skill(s) therefore fewer applicants will apply for the role.

• Less face-to-face contact with the recruiter and candidate apply for the job role


Identify a recruitment campaign which has really interested you. Explain why you feel this campaign caught your interest.

The recruitment campaign that caught my eye was the advertisement for Wembley stadium. The first thing that came in mind was stadium and sports this is because I enjoy sports a lot especially football so to be able to work around some of the great sportsmen around the world was the main reason why this job advertisement caught my interest plus the application form wasn’t long, job role was fantastic, they offered good pay and flexible working hours.


Psychological contract:

Psychological contract is the insight of the employee and employer mutual obligations are towards one another. This type of mutual obligation helps the employee achieve his/her side of the responsibility. Basically it is a mutual trust between the employee and employer.
