E-mail
is an excellent system for communication, but it is
not favorable for both employers and Job seekers. Most
of the applicants are misusing the e-mail system
by sending same resume at the same time to hundreds
employers with using"CC"
or "BCC".
According to the survey,
most of the employers are frustrated when
they see unmatched, unskilled, and unsuitable resumes
to fill their vacancies. Employers cannot spend their
time to read all email resumes to fill their vacancies.
Keep in mind - time is money in the United State and
no employer can afford this. Many
employers do not open emails that contain resumes as
attachments, because of higher risk of computer
viruses.
Due
to the above reasons, most of the Employers have been
started to pay 10 to 25% of the applicant's salary to
the recruiters. This practice
has been growing rapidly for the last 10 years. The
recruiting companies are spending lot of time to read
the resumes, make separate files or folders to match
the employer's folders, openings, and requirements to
fill the vacancies.
Employers are
spending lot of money on this procedure because they
cannot afford to hire wrong person and fire the applicant
after few months. Firing the candidate is very costly
to the employers because of rehiring cost and failure
of product delivery just in time.
