List of the tasks to be completed in implementing online recruitment system
Identifying system requirements including hardware and software components such as the RAM, Hard disk, Processor, operating system and servers and the programming language to use for the process.
Installing browsers, that is, Firefox or internet explorer, and downloaders to be used by the organization for its online interactions with applicants. The browsers will help in the collection of resumes and contact information of applicants. The details are saved and a reference number allocated to them.
Designing the webpage for interactions with applicants; that is, a Job Advert page where applicants access any information on the recruitment and selection process. The website will, therefore, allow the firm to post open positions. The website will also enhance real-time viewing of the positions as well as allow for easier searching by applicants. The company will have a URL to the site where applicants will be required to key in their logins such as the passwords for security purposes.
Installing software such as ODK that allows easier tracking of the status of applicants including their qualifications, whether they were interviewed or if they were accepted or rejected.
Putting in place software that allows the HR personnel to contact candidates about their status.
Carrying out main system testing to examine compatibility and configuration of various hardware and software components to ensure everything functions as expected.
Database testing to assess effectiveness of the webpage including the speed of access to the server, system securities and functionality of the storage tools.
Making necessary changes to the system after completion of the testing and involving a sample of current employees in piloting the project to assess the level of reliability on the online network to recruit and select candidates.
Implementation of the system by using it to recruit the first batch of new employees
