Integrate e-recruitment into your overall recruitment strategy A detailed job description should be given while posting jobs to attract candidates with the right skill sets. To measure the effectiveness of online recruitment, set up the metrics for recruitment spending. Do measure your Return on Investment. There's plenty of software that will show the organizations where its vacancy site is failing and where it could be improved. Organizations can even discover if emails to their talent pool are being opened or not. Ensure that all the approaches related to recruitment are linked to and centered on your own recruitment site. Give a precise and unambiguous questionnaire to reduce time in searching for a suitable candidate. Advertise in sites that match your requirements in terms of location, target group, geography and demographics
