Any recruiter should work hard to do one very important thing: innovation. There are so many reasons for this.

First, most applicants are shifting to technology when it comes to looking for jobs and promoting themselves. It is definitely time to get into the techie bandwagon. Second, the different tools are there to automate processes. If the human resource officer sorts hundreds of resumes for more than an hour, this can be completed within 30 minutes. Besides, productivity and quality of work are not measured by the number of hours one sits in front of the computer.

However, the difficulty lies in choosing what types of technologies to use. Factors such as ease of use, automation, cost effectiveness, and efficiency should be taken into serious consideration. That is why G-recruiter is fast graining ground in the Internet world these days.

G-Recruiter describes the different free Google tools any business owner or human resource officer can utilize for various recruiting functions. It may also describe the people who use the tools themselves.

So far, it is in its development stage, so technical glitches may be more noticeable, and a lot of progress is still underway. Nevertheless, the myriad of applications available in G-recruiter should be enough to keep anyone interested on his or her seats, itching with excitement:
