In the global, the organization must more effective with acquiring and selecting the qualified of employees. So, to ensure the organization can gain benefits from the staffing, the Human Resource Manager must select the suitable candidates at the recruitment process. According to Kanji & Asher (1996), recruitment needs to be filling by using benchmarking. It is to identify the quality of service and the gaps that exist between individual and organization. Then, staffing is the process of selecting and trains the individuals for the specific job and responsibilities. Nowadays, the most popular method is e-recruitment. Based on Schreyer & McCarter (1998), e-recruitment is the recruitment process, including placing job advertisement, receiving resumes, and building human resources database with candidates and incumbents.
 Reynolds and Weiner (2009) stated that online recruiting and staffing systems to get information about job seekers and the process to search a job opportunities. When positions are posted, job seeker information is collected, and tools for gathering evaluative information on candidates are deployed. All of this data must be maintained to ensure the roles in hiring process are effectively and properly. Mostly, the information generated during these steps like The Human Resource Information System (HRIS), the applicant tracking system (ATS), or within the system that deploys showing questions, tests, and other forms of evaluation. For example, Sime Darby has strategy in recruitment process with online application in online recruiting to select the candidates in “Career at Sime Darby” system online application. Form that system, candidates can choice the suitable career follow the qualification.
Mathis and Jackson (2005), “A survey of HR recruiters found that one-third of them felt Internet recruiting created additional work for HR staff members”. It is reasonable to expect an increase on the number of applications for a job opening in an economy suffering a crisis, such ours today. More emails to read, more resumes reviewing. But this can be dealt with the support of proper software. The advantages from web-based recruiting and staffing are time savings and cost of a newspaper or postage.
Recruitment and staffing process are important to ensure that good and suitable candidates for the working environment for any position to ensure the organization to prevent loss of profit. Besides that, as the student human resource the recruitment and staffing as a very good topic to lean to ensure I have knowledge when to work especially for recruiting new employee in using e-recruitment.
