As the internet technology starts to become more accessible to more and more people, looking for
employment can now be as easy as uploading your file to the internet site, looking for
job advertisements which appear to be suited for you. In this day and age, this is more practical, not only for the applicant but to the potential
employer as well.
The applicant potentially saves a lot of time and not to mention - either gas money or transportation money to go from building to building to try to send in their application. The employer on the other hand is able to screen their applicants regardless of where they are from hopefully, after the interview and final hiring process, they will be able to get a person fully suited for the position they have advertised.
In this process, one should ask however, is this really the best way to get a potential employee on board with a company? Is an applicant also able to exhaust all means of finding a job? Take for instance the website http://www.jobstreet.com/ - they have reaches all over the region....possibly throughout the world too. This opens up more doors for those in developing countries who seem to be under-employed...with a lot of talent to offer to the global market. One caveat to this however is the "disclaimer" in the partner sites stating they prefer applicants who are citizens/residents/permanent residents in these countries. Doesn''t this defeat the purpose of really globalizing the recruitment and application process? The whole idea of putting up these kinds of job
portal sites is to enable the underemployed to look for greener pasture elsewhere. If an employer does not wish to have overseas workers or foreign workers in their company, these sites need to have an agreement with these
recruitment firms to avoid globalizing these ads.
An advantage in this kind of situation also exists though. As an employer, job portals like these enable them to select from the best of the best in global talent. They are able to see how many individuals are able to perform these talents without needing to be limited to the pool of talent they have locally. With modernization ongoing, it is still very important to not take for granted the importance of properly balancing the effects of technology from building personal
relations in determining job suitability.
