E-hrm Strategies for Recruitment: Malaysian Smes Perspectives Arash Najmaei

The purpose of this Book is the analysis of the possibilities and difficulties of e-recruitment practices for SMEs in Malaysia, elaborating their effectiveness, and explaining some practical and managerial implications concerning these actions. Statistical analyses and empirical findings expressed here show that the attitudes and opinions of SME executives towards e-recruitment are considered a sub-function of an integrated e-HRM and can be seen as a valued technological improvement in the main critical activities of human resource management. However, findings show that the ability to communicate and deal with a multilingual organizational and working environment is the most important operational benefit of a web-based HRM and e-recruiting system. This technology is seen as a pathway to improving external and internal interactions and communication between job seekers, firms, employees, and other stakeholders, as well as to build data bases to store and recall data. These are the main strategic advantages of a recruitment system for SMEs in Malaysia.
