Technology can implement assessments, and test: knowledge, skills and abilities, however, the primary deciding factor should be an interview, which is commonly done face-to-face. There are exceptions were technology does play a role, such as it can be used to conduct an interview remote, e.g., hirevue, skype, et cetera. Nevertheless, it is human judgement organizing and making an expert decision on whether to hire.
The recruitment procedures and selections procedures are integrated and rely on numerous steps. Today’s HR is rapidly changing and technology is impacting our recruitment and selection abilities.

My friend, Jonathon Montgomery wanted to start up a small marketing business for local restaurants and sought to hire lot employees to spread the word around town. He went on craigslist to create an ad and three days later he found himself interviewing multiple groups of people to fill the role. He did not have as much trouble in the interviewing process, but he has a lot of trouble in the selection process.

Thomas Claburn’s article is intended for individuals who are both hiring and looking to be hired. The purpose of this article is to inform the readers of the significance of hiring the most qualified applicants versus those who may share mutual interests. Claburn discusses the advantages of using computers to evaluate applicants such as increasing how long employees will remain employed with them. A study was conducted by former students of the University of Toronto, Yale University and Harvard Business School which examined 300,000 low-skilled workers. Results of this study concluded that those hiring based on individual opinion produced adverse results when compared to choices made via computer. Utilizing computers to manage the hiring process allowed job testing to improve hiring results by providing additional information that was verifiable. The data presented by this study leads us to believe the low-skilled jobs are the most likely to practice automated hiring services which could later result in computers hiring other computers.

Many different avenues exist that can be utilized in the recruitment process. While traditional methods of recruitment such as newspaper advertisements employee referral programs are still be used, many companies, including Fortune 500 companies, are moving towards more technologically advanced avenues such as career opportunity pages on the company website, online job boards, social media, etc. The way an organization presents itself using any of these avenues is essential to the recruitment process as it is the only opportunity for the organization to attract
The problem is that utilizing technology based recruiting (including Social Networking Sites and Applicant Tracking Software) for selection of candidates may result in a detrimental fit between employee and organization. When considering organizational fit; “The concept Person-Organization Fit (POF) deals with the congruence between the employee’s own personal values and the values of the organization, according to the employee’s perception” (Farooqui & Nagendra, 2014, p. 123).

Being a negative process, selection entails scrutinizing the qualifications of candidates that have applied in order to choose only the best applicants for various jobs (Sharma, Khurana, & Khurana, 2009: 17).
The recruitment and selection process refers to where organisations use various methods in order to generate a pool of candidates that are suited to the job at hand and align with the organisations goals. With technology being used and relied on by many in the business world, it is important that organisations stay relevant by implementing both web-based applications methods and scientific tests to attract the best possible people for the job.
