Question 3

What are some of the characteristics of an EFFECTIVE online recruiting website? Please discuss in some detail.

Accepted Answer

•In general,the best website design is user-friendly,in that users can easily navigate and browse through multiple webpages to find information.
•The extent to which the website is usable or not has been referred to as website usability in the empirical literature.
•Navigability can be defined as the overall ease with which a user can browse through multiple webpages to locate topics of interest.Hosting a website that displays current information and includes active hyperlinks to retrieve information is essential in maintaining user interest within the site.To achieve this goal,organizations should follow the "three-click" rule for users to locate information of interest.
•Content information refers to the degree to which the website hosts relevant information that the user deems valuable and informative in nature.Providing information that the user desires is another mechanism by which organizations can sustain user interest and satisfaction with the website.
•The media richness theory has been frequently applied to explain why hosting relevant content information is beneficial to applicants.Specifically,this theory contends that communication effectiveness is a function of the degree to which media sources reduce user uncertainty and equivocality.
•When organizations posted employee testimonials on their employment webpages,their sites generated greater organizational attraction than other websites that did not have such testimonials.Consequently,hosting information that applicants value will most likely facilitate person-job (P-J)and person-organization (P-O)"fit"-related decisions.
•The more customizable information an organization provides on its webpage,the more likely an applicant will engage in appropriate self-selection behavior (to apply or not apply for a job within the organization).In other words,if the website provides direct feedback to applicants regarding their P-O or P-J fit,the online recruiting effort will likely attract a more qualified applicant pool.
•Aesthetic features of their websites engage user interest and attention.These features encompass the overall stylistic or innovative aspects of a website,such as contrasting colors,pictures,animation,and playfulness,which keep the user engaged while he or she navigates through multiple webpages.
