The use of websites to attract future employees for positions can have a number of drawbacks for employers. The most common problems associated with this are related to the quality of applications, lack of diversity in applicant demographics, and difficulty in verifying the accuracy or validity of certain information provided by applicants. Companies may also face difficulties when attempting to manage multiple applications at once, and can be subject to legal challenges if there is any discrimination involved in their selection process.

One potential issue with using websites as an employee recruitment method is that it may not always draw out high quality applicants as some people may opt not to apply if they feel their skills aren’t up to par or they don’t meet all the minimum job requirements listed on the website. Additionally, this type of recruitment doesn’t necessarily ensure diversity within applicants due to its limited range; there isn’t much opportunity for word-of-mouth recommendations which could increase the likelihood of seeing more diverse candidates.
