Abstract

The fact that graduate students usually have no experience and similar backgrounds might cause job vacancy placement and applicant evaluation to be complicated and stressful tasks for employers. This research project focuses on the role of e-portfolios in facilitating the hiring process and assisting job seekers in finding IT jobs. By using e- portfolios, employers would be able to assess IT applicants during the evaluation process more efficiently than using conventional CVs. A hybrid method was used to assess the e-portfolio effectiveness involving HR/IT interviewees after the experimentation of using simulated e-portfolios. Accordingly, Interviewees previewed the results of compression between a CV and an e-portfolio conducted in a focus group experimentation to get their feedback. The findings of this research indicate a high probability of acceptance to use the e-portfolio for seeking jobs and evaluation purposes by both employers and job seekers.
