Internet Recruiting

Technological advances have streamlined the recruiting process. Online recruiting (to include Internet job boards, applicant tracking systems, résumé databases, online testing, and assessments) offers many tools, including pre-employment screening, personality assessments, and testing, to screen candidates. However, online recruiting brings the risk of legal challenges. Often, without knowing it, companies violate a host of laws when they use the Internet to recruit talent. Human resource professionals must be careful to ensure that their company complies with the law when using this resource. Thus, it is imperative that companies set up the proper policies and train the staff who are using the technology in order to reduce such risks.
