Christian SalazarUH ID: 0979809Chapter 6 Case Study 2Case 2: This case is about how now in days it has become hard for company to see what future employees to hire due to the large amount of resumes that come in. The case adds that now thanks to technology it has become easier to screen resumes thru electronic systems that screen the thousands of resumes and sort the ones most fitted for the position. Interesting enough, in present day an online application viewed by actuals humans is at an astounding 5-25%. 1. What impact do you think resume screening tools are having on HR departments?I believe that resume screening tools are having a positive and profound effect on HR departments because for some companies, they usually receive thousands of resumes and without the help of technology software it would take a lot of money, time, and resources just tohire people to sift and screen every single resume one by one. These tools make it much easier for the HR department to hire future employees thru the screening tools available. 2. What competitive advantages do you see in using resume screening tools?I see many competitive advantages in using resume screening tools because this helps organizations seek a larger pool of future employees in the use of advertisement thru newspaper, social network, company websites, and hiring websites that just deal with the hiring process. Now a company is no longer limited by geographical distance because with the use of technology anyone around the world that may be interested in a particular job in another state can apply thru the use of the internet. Also, automated electronic systems help recruiters find future employees this way. 3. Do you see any drawbacks associated with them, and, if so, how might they be addressed?Yes, I do see drawbacks associated with the use of resume screening tools. This is because if most resumes are being screened online through computing software it does not always mean that it will always be accurate. Computers are not humans and don’t think like we do, so this process may alienate many resumes that were actually best suited for a particular position but since resume screening software was used, the resume that may have been the bestmay have been discarded by the software just for one or two screening factors. Also, the use of social media is not always reliable and not everyone is technology savvy.

Technology is not always the answer to everything; it can only go so
