Open source · Free annual hosting
The internet is the world’s largest recruiting platform, and hiring has moved onto it for good. Online recruitment software automates the whole process: post jobs on your own website, let jobseekers apply online, then shortlist and hire – all without a single sheet of paper. Open source, self-hosted, and supplied with free annual webhosting so you can go live straight away.
What is online recruitment software?
Online recruitment software is a web-based application set up to automate the hiring process. Companies post jobs online on their own website, jobseekers apply for them, and recruitment staff then shortlist and hire candidates online. Jobseekers, employers, and staffing companies have embraced the web in large numbers – which is exactly why online recruitment keeps growing, with more and more people applying for jobs online.
That growth has driven demand for better ways to manage resumes and applicant tracking, opening the door to a new generation of web-based job posting, resume management, and applicant workflow applications. ejobsitesoftware.com offers exactly that: an online recruitment solution for corporations and staffing agencies that organises and streamlines identifying, recruiting, hiring, and retaining talent.
