Modeling the benefit of e‐recruiting process integration

While e‐recruiting has been widely adopted as one of the most successful e‐business applications, it constitutes an under‐researched area in e‐business research. This study reviews the integration issues in e‐recruiting and presents an e‐recruiting integration decision model. The benefits of the investment in e‐recruiting process integration are discussed in comparison to separate e‐recruiting investments. We show that the optimal investment in the e‐recruiting process integration results in a lower total cost than the separate e‐recruiting investments. In addition, in light of the widely practiced resource constrained investments, we present the method of Lagrange multipliers which is used to find the optimal investment under a budget constraint.
