Question

BRAINLIEST REWARD <3
Discuss some of the drawbacks of exclusively applying for jobs online. What is one advantage of actually going into a place of business and filling out a job application in person?

Answer 1

High Volume of Responses

Because anybody in the world with Internet access could potentially see your job posting, you may be inundated with responses, many of them from unqualified candidates. You'll have to take time that you may not really have to wade through each application. To avoid unwanted applications, you'll need to be careful as to how you word your job posting and be as specific as possible about the job duties and the qualifications you're seeking.

Logistical Problems

What if the best-qualified candidates for your opening live halfway around the world? If that's the case, you'll have to consider conducting screening interviews by telephone or email, which limits the expense of an in-person meeting. If the process moves forward, it poses the dilemma of whether it is really worth bringing the person in for an interview. If it turns out the candidate wasn't serious about relocating, you've wasted valuable time and possibly money.

Technology Issues

If your hiring process involves filling out an application, you may miss out on qualified candidates who would rather send a resume. Some candidates may not want to take the time or may not be confident enough with the security of an online application. There's always the possibility that your application system may operate slowly or lose information during the submission process.

Too Impersonal

Because much of the online recruiting process may involve emails and possibly telephone interviews, it can be viewed as somewhat impersonal. Without the opportunity for the employer to hold multiple in-person interviews, it can be difficult to determine if the candidate will be a good fit for the company and its culture. The candidate may also have a hard time gauging whether the company is the right place for her.
