The benefits of e-recruitment in the South African National Department of Environmental Affairs.

M. Tech. Business Administration / The South African National Department of Environment Affairs (DEA) in Pretoria has been experiencing a high vacancy rate of 20%, 18% and 26% in the financial years 2008/9, 2009/10, and 2010/11 respectively against a target of 16% . The vacancy rate for 2013/14 financial year has increased to 24.5% against a target of 10%. The Department is struggling to meet its own set target by end of financial year. The current recruitment method utilised by DEA is too slow and tedious, takes time to appoint and has human elements as some documents get lost and does not promote efficiency and value for money. The study was aimed at assessing the degree to which e-recruitment methods were used in the Department of Environmental Affairs. The study was conducted in line with the objective of the DEA to reduce the existing vacancy rate at the DEA to at least 10% by 31 March 2014. This study assessed and evaluated the impact of implementing the online recruitment process in the Department and the contributing factors to a high vacancy rate such as the long waiting process.
