Hi Joseph,
For sure, e-Recruitment definitely has lots of advantages and reduces the time, money & effort of the recruiters.
But, we have to be careful & mindful about one thing. The management & searches done using these systems are based on keyword searches primarily or little more advanced searches using, years of experience, name universities, etc. But we have to anyway follow the conventional style of scrutinizing the resume by reading it personally and not wholly depedent on the these systems.
Thank you,
