Abstract:

Recruitment of employees, as well as the application for jobs, has been a tedious process involving time and resources, however, the use of technology simplifies the process. Online or e-recruitment tools have been used both by the recruitment officers and the job applicants. Using partial least squares structural equation modeling, the study compared the perceptions of the two groups of respondents on the perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, and their attitude towards the intention to use e-recruitment tools. The study established that the two groups of respondents both found the tools easy to use affecting their attitude and the intention to use or reuse the tools. The job applicants found the tools useful for their purpose affecting their attitude and intention to use, while the recruitment officers found the existing tools limiting. Nonetheless, recruitment officers’ attitude towards the use of the tool affects their intention to use it. Finally, additional features of online recruitment tools were recommended.
