organisations buy or lease to help with their recruitment – are comparatively new but are proving very popular as they can lead to cheaper, quicker, more effective recruitment as they provide tools to attract the best candidate and a process which allows good communication, efficiency and cost-savings for both candidate and recruiter. Most technology providers that include recruitment functionality fall in to three clear categories. The first is the extension of the existing HR Management System (HRMS). The second is an Applicant Tracking System (ATS), developed specifically for recruitment. The third category is Job Boards themselves, with varying degrees of functionality, who post job advertisements directly. All three have varying degrees of integration with social/business networking sites. Many such have sprung up over recent years and have different commercial models from simple Pay-as-you-Go (PAYG), Software as a Service model or on a subscription basis.
Whether an organisation adopts a Pay-as-you-Go model or invests in a software Subscription - often as a term licence - largely depends on how often an organisation recruits.
The more advanced ATSs integrate mobile, candidate testing, video interviewing as well as posting to Job Boards and social media and tend to be purchased on a subscription basis as organisations recognise that these systems will largely form part of a bigger HR strategy.

A short checklist for those interested in pursuing the online recruitment option is to ask if the system allows the following:-
Ability to register interest/ talent pool – for contract wins where large numbers of same skilled workers are needed quickly, this will remove the need to advertise again
Agency module – provides the ability to communicate quickly and efficiently with all agencies used to recruit specific staff
Skills based tests – testing skills from numeracy and literacy to driving to minimise the risk of candidates starting and performing poorly
Right to work checks – allows a company to determine quickly that the candidate is legally allowed to work in the country
Background checks – To ensure the workers are right for certain jobs

On boarding module – the candidate enters their bank details, references, proof of ID etc online and a contract is automatically created and emailed over – helps with quick demand hiring
