Abstract

The internet has become a common source of recruiting, yet no study, to date, has examined its effectiveness. We created several "ratios" and assessed the effectiveness of internet recruiting in a biomedical device firm in the USA. Our analysis shows the internet should not be considered as the end all to the recruiting process. It is important to keep in mind that it is just one tool and should be used in combination with an overall recruiting strategy. Most of all, it is important to realise that the internet is here to stay. In order to stay competitive, organisations need to stay abreast of recruiting trends and strategise their overall recruiting efforts. This study, in conclusion, is a valuable model for assessing internet recruiting.
