Abstract

Nowadays, the need of technology in many work fields has increased especially for the activities that are performed every day. Technology plays an essential role in eliminating the challenges that are faced when performing the work manually. For the traditional recruitment process, the nature of executing the work have to be done manually starting from announcing the job offers and ending up with recruiting the candidate.  In fact, the challenges of the traditional recruitment process become greater as it requires collecting and analyzing thousands of jobseekers’ information. Hence, there is need to embrace the electronic recruitment system to reduce the efforts and time involve in the recruitment process. This paper presents the perception of job seekers on mobile and web recruitment system in Nigeria. While majority of job seekers agree on the fact that electronic recruitment system eases the process and improves transparency in the system, some members of the public are concerned with the instability of the network and security of their filled personal information.
