...Strategic Integration of Recruitment Practices and Its Impact on Performance in Indian Enterprises Ashok Chanda, Trapti Bansal & Rupal Chanda Abstract Recruitment and selection is a foundation of human resource management (HRM) practices and its integration to business is critical to achieve organisational strategic goals. However, little research has to date examined strategic integration in this specific human resource (HR) practice, and, therefore, little is known about the level and application of recruitment and selection strategic integration a situation that warrants greater investment due to the economic growth in India in a corresponding expansion of Indian enterprises. Consequently, this study investigates the level at which recruitment and selection practices integrate with business strategies and the relative effects of different levels of such strategic integration on organisational performance in 259 Indian enterprises. The results show the majority of Indian enterprises had a high level of recruitment and selection strategic integration in business strategy formulation and implementation. Moreover, the level of recruitment and selection strategic integration was positively related to growth in market share, profits and sales, employees’ satisfaction, employees’ productivity, and negatively related to employees’ turnover. The implications for HRM practitioners and further research are discussed. Introduction Recruitment and selection is the process of attracting...

...International Review of Business Research Papers Vol.4 No.1 January 2008 Pp.364-373 Advantages and Disadvantages of Internet Recruitment: A UK Study into Employers’ Perceptions Helen Verhoeven* and Sue Williams** This paper reports on a study into Internet recruitment and selection in the United Kingdom. It discusses the advantages and disadvantages of Internet recruitment and selection as identified in literature and considers those against the views of employers in the United Kingdom. The results provide clear evidence that the majority of advantages and disadvantages identified in literature are also experienced by UK employers and help to lay foundations for future research. Field of Research: Human Resource Management 1. Introduction A review of current literature indicates that the use of the Internet and thus Internet technology is changing (Kinder 2000), transforming (Piturro 2000; Searle 2003; Veger 2006) some would say revolutionising (Hansen 1998) the way in which human resource departments recruit job candidates. Nevertheless, very limited research has been carried out in this area to date. Young and Weinroth (2003, p.11) refer in this respect to “the currently minimal field of Internet recruitment literature, while Lievens et al. (2002, p.586) describe it as “very scarce”. Furthermore, existent literature in the areas focuses mainly on the United States of America (USA) rather than on European countries. Reasons for this might be the relative newness of the...

...The Effect of E-recruitment On the Recruitment Process: Evidence from Case Studies of Three Danish MNCs Anna B. Holm, Aarhus University, Denmark annah@asb.dk Abstract. The aim of this research is to determine whether the introduction of e-recruitment has an impact on the process and underlying tasks, subtasks and activities of recruitment. Three large organizations with wellestablished e-recruitment practices were included in the study. The case studies were conducted in Denmark in 2008-2009 using qualitative research methods. The findings indicate that e-recruitment had a noticeable effect on the overall recruitment process in the studied organizations. The investigation revealed changes in the sequence, divisibility and repetitiveness of a number of tasks and subtasks. The new process design supported by information and communications technologies was identified and is presented in the paper. This process allowed recruiters in the study to perform recruitment tasks more efficiently. However, practitioners should be aware of the increasing demands of the quality of online communication with applicants, and with it the electronic communication skills of recruitment professionals. Keywords: recruitment, e-recruitment, web-based recruitment, online recruitment, staffing, e-HRM 1 Introduction The first decade of the twenty-first century saw rapid growth in the use of online recruitment [25] and the transformation of electronic recruitment into one of the...

...Outsourcing Human Resources Management Functions: Recruitment and Selection Uni*********** Research Paper for HRM**** Section 1202 ********** March 16, 2012 Outsourcing Human Resources Management Functions: Recruitment and Selection Introduction In the recent past, the competitive environment for many organizations has changed, with the organizations having to operate in globally capitalized environments, rapid industrialization, and changing technology (Abraham, 1988); and just recently a global economic downturn which has had organizations to downsize their operations. As a result, these organizations are constantly seeking new managerial methods, as both a way for the organization to be competitive and to cut operating cost; the most successful method is the outsourcing of business processes. Normally the Human Resources Management (HRM) function of recruitment has traditionally been performed in-house; advocates for outsourcing this function have increased and argue that outsourcing can reduce costs associated with recruitment and selection (Klass, 2001). Some organizations delegate crucial human resource functions to outside firms as a means of utilizing available expertise, reducing expenses, and to be able to concentrate on important business activities (Abraham and Taylor, 1996). The influence of increasing levels of globalization, technological changes, the complexity of business...
