ABSTRACT
This study was intended to design and implement an online examination system for staff
recruitment. This study was undertaken majorly to design and implement an online examination
system for staff recruitment. Specific objectives of the study are: To identify the
structure/characteristics of an online examination system for staff recruitment, To identify the
benefits of an online examination system for the recruitment of staff, To find out the
challenges/disadvantages of the adoption of online examination system for the recruitment of
staff.
Concerning methodology for this study, The data used for the development of the research was
gotten from the internet, textbooks and articles. The contributions of other researchers on the
subject were examined so as to gather relevant information. The case study also provided useful
information for the development of the system.
System analysis has to do with examining a system in order to understand its step by step
operations so as to identify its benefits and areas of limitation that require improvements. In the
existing system, the staff recruitment was still manually achieved, the average results and
grading was manually computed. The problems of the existing system includes; it is time
consuming, errors in computation is very common, it is inefficient, reports of results cannot be
easily retrieved. In the proposed system, staff recruitment for the case study will be carried out
effectively on the internet in order to save time and also to bring fairly to qualified candidates.
This system will save time, minimize computation errors and also help the staffs to recruit the
right personnel for the organization. The system design pertains to the layout of the system and it
consists of the input and output layout.
Findings from this study revealed that; chances of getting competent employees will significantly
increase if organizations should take advantage of the internet and adopt online registration
system for the recruitment of staff.
This study is that it will bring to light the relevance of adopting online examination system for
employee short-listing or e-recruitment system and the need for its adoption by organizations.

INTRODUCTION/BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
1.0 PRELIMINARIES
An online examinationsystem for recruitment of staff is a web application that establishes
a network between the organization and applicants. The organization enters on the site the
questions they want in the exam. These questions aredisplayed as a test to the eligible students.
The answers inputted by the applicants are then evaluatedand their score is calculated and saved.
This score then can be accessed by the inst to determine the passes students or to evaluate their
performance.Online Exams System provides the platform but does not directly participate in, nor
is itinvolved in any tests conducted. Questions are posted not by the site, but users of the site.
According to Yu, Hsiao and Cho (2014), online examinations are convenient, and fast. Online
examination has three main purposes:
1. To allow test-takers at different places to take the test at the same time through the online
examination website.
2. Through careful planning and proper coding, enable tests, grading and to check results on
the website.
3. To integrate database with the program, allowing teachers easy addition of questions and
creation of tests.
The formulation of questions for a test is often treated with doubts and suspicions. In a
typical online examination system, the questions are strict and set with care. Although the exam
questions is in the multiple choice format (objectives), the questions are chosen at random. All
students have the same questions but the order of questions is different. Since the order of the
question differs on each computer, the motive in students to cheat is reduced. Cheating at
examinations is unacceptable. It is common knowledge that people are likely to cheat in a
network environment but this is wrong as cheating at examinations is unacceptable as it affects
the fairness of an examination. This situation implies that to overcome the tendency to cheat is
the major challenge in online examinations. Despite the pitfalls, online examination is very
important and useful as it breaks the barrier of distance and different geographical location.
Applicants from all over the world can access the system thereby giving the examiners a good
chance to identify highly intelligent prospective staff.
Every organization is made up of employees, and before employees are recruited,
information pertaining to them is obtained, processed and analyzed after they have applied to
determine their qualification for employment into a given position. For every position, there are
certain skills and qualifications needed. The performance of the individual is a function of
employee ability, motivation and opportunity (Boxall & Purcell, 2003).
Short-listing of employees also known as Recruitment and selection, forms a core part of the
central activities underlying human resource management: namely, the acquisition, development
and reward of workers. It forms an important part of the work of human resource managers – or
designated specialists within work organizations. It has an important role to play in ensuring
worker performance and positive organizational outcomes. It is often claimed that selection of
workers occurs not just to replace departing employees or add to a workforce but rather to put in
place workers who can perform at a high level and demonstrate commitment.
Recruitment is
important for organizations since it performs the essential function of drawing an important
resource, human capital, into the organization (Boxall & Purcell, 2003; Parry & Tyson, 2008;). It
has a strategic aim as it focuses on the need to attract high-quality people in order to gain a
competitive advantage (Parry & Tyson, 2008; Malinowski et al, 2005). Recruiting people with
the right abilities reinforces the organizational goals (Boxall & Purcell, 2003).
Conducting examination before employees are recruited is very important as their level of
success in the exams will reflect their level of competence or ability. Online examination widens
the spectrum for organizations to reach out to more applicants and to get the best. It is on this
premise that this research study is set to examine the design and implementation of an online
examination system for recruitment of staff.
1.1 Statement of Problem
Many organizations do not have competitive personnel and this negatively affects the
productivity and image of the organization. In addition, there is no effective structure to recruit
staff that is able to stand up to the responsibility of their duties. Many organizations still adopt
the manual method of recruiting and the applicants are limited to those in their immediate
environment. Also, many applicants find it difficult to get to the examination centers due to
distance and high cost of transportation. Organizations are unable to reach out to a wide
spectrum of applicants so as to be able to recruit the best employees. The traditional examination
for recruitment is usually characterized by cheating which hampers the credibility of recruited
employees. There is need for a more effective system that is able to reach out to a wider
spectrum of employees, breaking the barrier of distance and cost and thereby promoting the
recruitment of well qualified staff.
1.3 Objectives of the study
The following are the objectives of the study;
a. To design and implement an online examination system for the recruitment of staff.
b. To identify the structure/characteristics of an online examination system for staff
recruitment.
c. To identify the benefits of an online examination system for the recruitment of staff.
d. To find out the challenges/disadvantages of the adoption of online examination system
for the recruitment of staff.
1.4 Significance of the study
The significance of the study is that it will bring to light the relevance of adopting online
examination system for employee short-listing or e-recruitment system and the need for its
adoption by organizations. It will help organizations solve the present challenges they are facing
in attracting eligible and professional employees by providing a software system that processes
the application of different applicants. It will also save them time and cost of recruiting. In
addition, other scholars seeking for valuable information on the subject will find this research
material relevant.
1.5 Scope of the Study
This study covers the design and implementation of an online examination system for the
recruitment of staff.

CHAPTER TWO
LITERATURE REVIEW
2.0 Introduction
This chapter is concerned with the review of related literature, the contributions of other
researchers is examined in this chapter. It looks at:
 The Need for employee recruitment using online examination
 Steps involved in employee recruitment
 The concept of online examination
 System structure/characteristics of online examination
 Advantages of Using Online Examination System for Employee Recruitment
 Disadvantages of Using Online Examination for Employee Recruitment
2.1 The Need for Employee Recruitment Using Online Examination
Organizations make use of e-recruitment because of several reasons (Chapman & Webster,
2003). These include:
1. Cost Savings
2. Ease of Use for Candidates
3. Larger candidate pool
4. Ease of use for the organisation
5. Increasing the speed to hire
6. Success in finding candidates
7. Keeping ahead of competitors
Parry and Tyson (2008) studied the use and success of e-recruitment methods in the UK.
They conducted a six-year survey and performed qualitative interviews among HR managers.
The survey had 25,224 respondents over the six years, and represented 935 organizations per
survey. Interviews were held to supplement the survey data with a more in-depth view. Fifteen
qualitative interviews were conducted with senior HR or resourcing managers responsible for
recruitment, and five additional interviews were conducted with providers of online recruitment
technology. They found from research that cost effectiveness is the most important reason (75%)
mentioned by organisations, followed by ease of use for candidates (64%), a larger candidate
pool (53%) and ease of use for the organisation (52%). Galanaki (2002) performed a survey
among a sample of 99 organisations, of which 34 organisations responded. This research found
similar importance regarding reasons to use e-recruitment, like cost effectiveness (46%), wide
response rate (46%), reaching a specific niche (42%) and reaching passive job seekers (38%).
Pin et al (2001) found, among 167 organisations, additional support for time savings (64%),
lower recruitment costs (51%) and 24hrs a day, 7 days a week online (51%).
2.2 Steps involved in Employee recruitment
The recruitment process begins with the identification of a vacancy whereafter the
recruiter receives authorization to fill in this vacancy (Chapman & Webster, 2003). In order to do
so, the vacant job needs to be carefully analyzed. Analyzing the job might include determining
the necessary knowledge, skills, and experience required to perform the job appropriately and
defining the required specifications. After identifying and analyzing a vacancy, it can be placed
in, for example, newspapers or other media sources. Applicants can apply for vacancies by using
the internet. Likewise, further correspondence between organization and applicant depends on
the internet to a large extent. Cappelli (2001) describes the recruitment process in three steps.
First, candidates need to be attracted. This concerns using the organization’s reputation, product
image, online technology and other methods to draw as many potential applicants as possible to
the organization’s website. On the website, organizations can reinforce their human resources
brand and provide information about jobs and working conditions. The second step in this
process is sorting applicants. This relates, for example, to employing sophisticated, standardized
online tests to screen candidates, and winnowing the applicant pool to a manageable number.
Third, the contacts need to be managed quickly. Due to the use of the internet, organizations are
able to respond more quickly to a desirable candidate. An e-recruitment process follows ideally
from a systematic human resource planning process, whereby an organization analyses and plans
for the flow of people into, through, and out of the organisation (Chapman & Webster, 2003).
Yet, there is a fourth step, which does not belong necessarily to e-recruitment but to every
recruitment process. This concerns closing the deal (Cappelli, 2001). It refers to making the
phone call, setting up the meeting and shaking the hand. From this description, one can notice
that the e-element is absent. In this way, Cappelli (2001) highlights the importance of the human
touch at the end of the recruitment process. According to him, human touch is increasingly
neglected in e-recruitment processes but remains very crucial.
2.3 The Concept of Online Examination
In future, the internet world will have an even closer relation with our daily lives, online teaching
and online examination are the direction towards which the academic circle will move. An online
examination syatem does not have the limitation of time and place. Users can arrange their
examination time in accordance to the progress of their lesson. Since the test is graded by
computers, time which would have been required for manual marking and grading is saved. Test
takers can check the test solutions immediately after the test, thus letting candidates know their
mistakes and work to correct them
2.4 System Structure/Characteristics of Online Exams
Outline below are the characteristics of online examination system:
2.5Advantages of Using Online Examination System for Employee Recruitment
It has a strategic significance as it puts emphasis on the need to attract high-quality
people in order to gain a competitive advantage (Parry & Tyson, 2008; Malinkowski et al, 2005).
“To ensure successful application management for the applicant and for us as the company, it is
vital to have a transparent system of job listings and interested candidates. To guarantee
transparency, we need an application management system that all personnel departments can
efficiently and independently access. It would be impossible to ensure this type of access at a
company as large as Deutsche Post World Net with resume folders and e-mail applications. That
is why we work strictly with online applications (Website Deutsche Post).”
A second outcome of successful implementationonline examination for recruitment
concerns productivity benefits of e-recruitment. These are widely discussed in the literature. If erecruitment is successfully implemented, it might lead to efficiency advantages like cost
reduction and time saving (Cappelli, 2001) shows that lowering recruitment costs is the number
two advantage of e-recruitment. 51 % of their respondents perceived cost savings as an
advantage. Time saving include job posting and processing time, which can be reduced by erecruitment (Jones et al, 2002). Job postings, applicant response, and processing of résumés can
be done faster (Pin et al, 2001). Next to that, the immediacy of listing reduces the time taken for
recruitment to remove quality job candidates from circulation before other competitors have the
opportunity to act (Jones et al, 2003). This affects the hiring cycle. Time saving advantages also
influence cost reduction. Finally, e-recruitment system quality. Regarding to this construct,
interviewees perceived the system to be relevant. The system provides users several tools
through which they can perform and structure their recruitment process. The online test or exams
is an integral part of the system.
The SAP E-recruiting Business Case (2004) describes, among other things, the initially
expected benefits of the system. These benefits include, first of all, decreasing recruitment costs
by matching supply and demand, proactive recruitment of personnel, decreasing the turnaround
time of the recruitment process, and purposeful use of recruitment channels. Secondly, the new
system was expected to reduce the turnaround time from 90 to 50 days. Finally, the time spent on
resume handling was to be decreased by at least 2.5 hours per resume
2.6 Disadvantages of Using Online Examination for Employee Recruitment
Although there are aspects that influenced e-recruitment using online examination in a positive
way, the new technology also contributed negatively to the quality of the recruitment process.
Due to the increased administrative burden, there is less time left to perform the key activity of
recruitment, recruiting potential employees. Another issue concerns the user-friendliness of the
system. Because of its time-consuming and cumbersome design, e-recruitment requires users to
perform many tasks and to perform illogical work processes. Yet, as recruiters state that this is a
disadvantage, they perceive it is more worse that the system is applicant unfriendly. This refers
to the system’s extensive nature, to the ease of understanding of the system, and the effort
required of applicants.
The system is actually programmed and may fail to see other areas of strength the
applicants have as opposed to the manual method of recruitment.
CHAPTER THREE
SYSTEM ANALYSIS AND DESIGN
This chapter takes an overviews on the system design and the entire research work, it is
important to note that a poorly designed system will equally produce an incorrect output as such
this chapter presents a skeletal approach to the design of the entire system.
3.1 Analysis of the present system
System analysis has to do with examining a system in order to understand its step by step
operations so as to identify its benefits and areas of limitation that require improvements.
In the existing system, the staff recruitment was still manually achieved. The average results and
grading is manually computed.
3.1.1 Method of operation
The system being manual has no technical operation,the applicants pick of a form which is
filled, submitted and the recruitment examnation is conducted for that applicant. Scores are
gotten from the conducted recruitment examination which is computed manually as well the
grading of the applicant.
3.1.2 Design tools of present system
The present system is manual and has no design it relies on the intellect of does who do the
computing, though spreadsheet applications like Microsoft excel can be use for the computing
Characteristics
1. Manual mode of conducting the recruitment examination
2. Manual mode of computing the results of the recruitment examination
Advantages
1. Exams could be monitored properly
2 . Cost Savings
3.Ease of Use for Candidates
Disadvantages
1. Process taking before admitted for an recruitment examination
3.2 Weakness of the present system
The problems of the existing system includes; it is time consuming, errors in computation is very
common, it is inefficient, reports of results cannot be easily retrieved.
3.3 Research Methodology
A software development methodology or system development methodology is a frame work that
is used to structure, plan and control the process of developing an information system. The
methodology employed for the development of the system is the spiral development. The spiral
development model comprises the elements of both design and prototyping. The model has four
stages namely:
-
Planning
-
Analysis
-
Evaluation
-
Development
The data used for the development of the research was gotten from the internet, textbooks
and articles. The contributions of other researchers on the subject were examined so as to gather
relevant information. The case study also provided useful information for the development of the
system.
3.3.1 Sampled population
Staff go through a process before they obtain a job in a company, hence having experience
recruitment. This staff both does who where successful and does who were not form the sample
population.
3.3.2 study hypothesis
Staff recruitment can be more efficient with an online recruitment examination system.
3.3.3 Data collection method
Data collection method includes investigation of the existing system conduction of interviews
and online research consigning the topic
3.4 Design Languages, Tools and techniques of proposed system
3.4.1 Java
Java is an object oriented programming language that use to create desktop and web based
applications. A lot of applications are design with java
3.5 Analysis of the proposed system
The proposed system is such that staff recruitment for the case study will be carried out
effectively on the internet in order to save time and also to bring fairly to qualified candidates.
3.5.1 Method of Operation
Users of the system would first of all register giving them a user name and password which they
can use to log into the system. an exam ID is generated for anybody who will write the
recruitment exams
3.5.2 Significance of the proposed system
Advantages of the proposed system
The advantages of the proposed system include; it will save time, minimize computation errors
and also help the staffs to recruit the right personnel for the organization.
Disadvantages of the Proposed System
The disadvantages of the proposed system includes the following; users must be computer
literate, it cannot be used without a computer system and electricity, it is susceptible to virus
attack, unauthorized access can be gained to alter information.
3.6 Objectives of proposed system
This project is aimed at making job recruitment faster and improve the mode of conducting staff
recruitment examination
3.7 Features of the proposed system
3.8 Processing involved in the proposed system
3.9 Cost And Benefit Of The Proposed System
3.10 Design of the proposed system
The system design pertains to the layout of the system and it consists of the input and output
layout.
3.10.1 Output Design
3.10.2 Input Design
The system takes in several inputs including information about the applicant to write the
recruitment examination, the question to be asked in the examination and the answers provided
by the applicant.

3.15 Findings
From the analysis of data presented above, it is quite clear that recruitment and selection
exercises in the Public Service are not conducted annually or biannually but when the need
arises. The need may arise when people go on retirement, quit the service as a result of gaining
better employment elsewhere or due to disciplinary measures. Again, the need may also arise
due to some highly placed persons mounting pressure. Due to some political, ethnic or religious
consideration. In such cases, vacancies may be created.

-
Uninterruptible power supply (UPS)
The software requirements are:
-
Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0
-
Microsoft Access 2003
4.2 JUSTIFICATION OF PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE USED
The programming language chosen for the development of the system is visual basic 6.0. The
language was chosen because it enables the creation of applications with a graphical user
interface, containing controls such as text fields, combo box, labels, command buttons etc.
TEST RUN
Implementation is the process of replacing the old system with the new system. There are four
different ways of replacing the old system with the new system. The reasons for choosing one
implementation type over another depend upon; how quickly must the changeover happen? How
important is it to prevent data loss? What will the cost of the changeover be?
Direct changeover: In this system the old system is no longer available and everything must run
on the new system. Problems with the new system can cause major problems for the business,
only suitable for non-critical systems.
Phased implementation: Takes longer to complete the implementation but the risks to the
business are less than for direct changeover. The new system can be split into separate working
parts e.g. sales, marketing, payroll etc. part of the old system is replaced with the new one until
the replaced part is working properly. Continue the process until the entire old system has been
replaced by the new system.
Parallel Running: Highly fault tolerant, new system and the old system are used with extra staffs
recruited to run the new system but it is very expensive. Both systems continue to run until the
new system is working properly then the old one is discarded.
Pilot Running: If the business has many different offices or sites then this is an option. One
single site is chosen and the old system is replaced with the new system in the same way as
direct changeover but only on one site, the rest of the business continue to use the old system.
Once the new system is shown to work well in that one ‘pilot’ site then the new system can
replace the old one in the rest of the company.
The system implementation method recommended and chosen by the system developer is the
parallel running so as to prevent data loss.
CHAPTER FIVE
SUMMARY, CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION (S)
5.0 Introduction
This chapter presents the summary, conclusion, constraints of the study and offers useful
recommendations.
5.1 Constraints of the study
In carrying out the research work, some challenges were faced that limited the study such as:
Time: The time given for the completion of the research work was too short hence the researcher
had speed up the research work to meet up and this has an impact on the study.
Limited Materials: few materials were found pertaining to the research area and this limited the
bulk of the literature review.
Finance: The high cost of textbooks, internet browsing and transportation to different libraries to
gather materials stood as a constraint to the research work.
5.2 Summary
Recruitment and selection of staff, forms a core part of the central activities underlying human
resource management and it involves: namely, the acquisition, development and reward of
workers. It forms an important part of the work of human resource managers – or designated
specialists within work organizations. It has an important role to play in ensuring worker
performance and positive organizational outcomes. Basically, for an organization to get
competent employees they need to be tested. Organizations have taken advantage of the internet
to aid their recruitment process. Online examination system for recruitment of staff is a web
application that establishes a network between the organization and applicants. The organization
enters on the site the questions they want in the exam. These questions are displayed as a test to
the eligible applicants. The results of the test or exam is computed and displayed in real time.
5.3 Conclusion
It is very important for organizations to take advantage of the internet and adopt online
examination system for the recruitment of staff. This will increase their chances of getting
competent employees and also eliminate the barrier of distance and bias in recruitment of
employees.
5.4 Recommendations
The following recommendations are made based on the findings of the research work:
-
IT professionals such as computer programmers, web designers and database
administrators should be employed.
-
Recruitment of staff should be computerized
-
Professionals experienced in the development of online recruitment and examination
systems should be consulted for guidelines.
-
Staff in the recruitment unit should be sent for advanced training to learn how to develop
and maintain online examination system for staff recruitment.
