A questionnaire was conducted in Hong Kong found that recruitment and selection were the most frequently used in Internet based HRM.
As the Internet grows and more and more networks are created, it is providing a more diverse source of HR support. It was highlighted that HR professionals cannot afford to miss out on the benefits that using the Internet can provide (Santos and Kuzmits 1997). Intranets are also benefits as they allow things such as communication, database access and ability to establish information systems. Businesses are using this to create employee profiles, telephone directories and policy manuals.
Online recruiting is ow a worldwide trend for HR functions. CV's sent through the Internet, either on a job seeker website or directly through the company recruiting, can be scanned for key words that are necessary attributes for the job description. This information can then be stored in the information system for immediate or future use. Many companies have seen up to 45% reduction in recruitment costs since using the web for its core recruitment.
