Looks at the effectiveness of online recruitment, asking if suitable people are being overlooked by application sifting systems because the filters often reject people who have had career breaks, for example. Considers how online recruitment systems can be improved, pointing out not only that they can ignore talented potential employees but also that less-well-qualified people who know the system, can pepper their application with keywords to guarantee an interview. Looks at the value of video recruitment, quoting form enthusiasts for this approach and doubters. Acknowledges the need for automated sifting but stresses the need to use the technology more effectively.ISSN: 0964-8380Reference: 40AE468
