I'm the company's recruitment specialist, and we've moved heavily into using the Internet. It's virtually eliminated the sorts of applications that don't stand a chance. We have an online application system that works well, because it elicits the vital information at the outset. For instance, there might be something like "Do you have hands-on experience of the latest technologies in this field?" People who can't give the answers are immediately advised not to continue with their application. It's astonishing that, while nearly all British businesses use the Internet in one way or another, most of them just use their websites as shop windows for advertising jobs, then expect people to send in paper-based applications. They're simply not using the technology to its best advantage. There are so many refinements that the Internet makes possible, so every recruitment officer ought to be looking at making optimal use of it and cutting out as much paper as they can.
