Online recruitment sites have two major features: job boards and a resume or Curriculum Vitae (CV) database. Job boards provide the member companies with the opportunity to post job vacancies. On the other hand, candidates can upload a résumé to be integrated in searches by member companies. Fees are charged for job postings and access to look for resumes.
Online recruitment websites can be very useful to find candidates that are very enthusiastically searching for work and post their resumes online, but they will not appeal to the “passive” candidates who might respond fortunately to an opportunity that is accessible to them through other means.
