Abstract
This paper is a preliminary study on improving the efficiency of recruiting in a staffing agency. Statistics show that the revenue of Canadian recruitment industry has increased sustainably in recent years and the contribution of temporary staffing services have reached approximately two-thirds of the whole recruitment industry sales. However, in the information explosion ages, how to improve the efficiency of recruiting is a critical challenge facing the staffing agencies. Traditional recruitment process is neither effective nor efficient in matching the large pool of candidates. Internet-based recruitment solutions can be very efficient in dealing with large-scale datasets but still have some problems. In order to know better about the design prolem and to gather more requirements, the authors introduce an emerging and promising Environment-Based Design methodology to conduct the environment analysis activities so as to find out the key environment components for the design problem and the relationships between the environment components.
