It is advantageous in the following perspectives –

It is disadvantageous in the following perspectives –

· Organizations cannot be dependant solely and totally on the online recruitment methods.

Using internet recruiting for the job we are recruiting is mostly based on the urgency of filling the vacancy – I prefer basic screening test should be done by this way, but the ultimate skill mapping test should be done by offline.
