I recently wrote a post about how online recruitment isn’t being halted by the credit crunch and one company that has turned to online recruitment is the high street fashion retailer River Island.
It is the first time that the company have decided to use online recruitment and are due to employ staff in 200 stores across the country.
Previously to this, River Island used application forms which had to go through a central recruitment team to then be forwarded on to stores to be short listed, which as you can image, is quite a time consuming process.
River Island are hoping that this new process with reduce the administration time and also make it fair for candidates, as they will all get processed in the same way.
The use of online recruitment is definitely on the up and Anders Jensen from ClickAJob thinks its due to increase even more.
“Instant turnaround is just one of the plusses that employers expect, particularly in staffing up for the festive season peak. With facilities like email alert, not only is a job online immediately, if the requirements match a previously entered request, the candidate looking for it is immediately informed too. Such same-day results make all the difference to a retailer who has to respond quickly.”
Other stores such as Woolworths are also going to try out the online recruitment method.
