Irrespective of size, industry, or location, companies and institutions are experiencing difficulty with recruiting and retaining qualified information technology professionals. To cope with the problem, companies and organizations are utilizing a variety of methods to gain access to prospective candidates.

This study examines the use of Web technology by selected Fortune 500 companies to recruit computing and information technology professionals. Specifically, this research project identifies the type of employment information and methodologies that are included in the web sites of Fortune 500 companies. The results of this study should be of interest to personnel managers, Web-site developers, systems analysts, placement agency managers, consultants, legislators, immigration attorneys, and individuals responsible for generating governmental labor reports. Graduates seeking jobs, individuals looking for advancement, career counselors, computing and information technology faculty members, and researchers involved with Web-based recruiting and effectiveness will also find this study useful.
