Abstract:
Because of technical advancements, job seekers are more interested in electronic
media than printed media. As a result of this new development, businesses are
increasingly posting job positions on online job boards in an attempt to attract
applications. However, the businesses' ultimate objective couldn't be achieved if the
internet portal didn't provide high-quality information. The goal of this research was
to identify how human resource management-focused interns currently using online
recruiting interfaces perceive them. The population of the research consisted of HRM
undergraduates who actively searched for internship openings on internet job
postings. A self-administered questionnaire was used to survey 157 third- and fourth-
year HRM interns at the University of Kelaniya in Sri Lanka, totalling 113
respondents. Data were gathered using the convenience sampling technique. The
questionnaire was developed by incorporating elements from earlier studies such as
information relevance, information accuracy, information timeliness, and website
usability. The findings indicate that elements like information relevance, information
correctness, information timeliness, and website usability affect how HR interns are
perceived. The findings of this research, however, cannot be applied to all job portals
since it is limited to only job portals. However, employment portals may draw more
visitors to their sites if they provide pertinent, accurate, and up-to-date
information and if the portal is simple to use.
