Nike 's Computer Based System
A computer based interviewing system has given a major role in the field
of interviewing process of getting an employee . Because of it 's
potential in the business world , its gives idea that it will benefit the
people , the consumer and the company as well . These computer based
system for interviewing is now looking by Nike Company . An example of
these is the (IVR ) Interactive Voice Response Technology using the
database technology to capture information about potential employees .
Looking at the primary advantage of having a computer based interview
system is that the system of interviewing an applicant will become
easier and more convenient . Such as reducing the labor hours of
interviewing , and also facilitate the screening of the applicants
easier . The travel cost by the applicant will also be reduced . The
development of this computer based interviewing system gives the company
the ability to build a clear job description as well as selecting an
applicant that is fit to the job description .

need a in-person interview , assessment center , which basically the
computer doesn 't allow the behavior of one person to be observed and

system of the company it might as well give an additional problem in
interviewing the applicants .
The major concern of EEO is whether the computer-based system is
accessible to disabled persons . Example are hearing impairment and voice
impediment . Nike also concerns with the potential infringement of law
like Nike must consider the phrasing of interview questions . This can
cause bias to the native speakers of English , and can cause
discrimination to their demographics status . This will not run like free
flowing conversation .
Nike must be concern about the development and welfare of the employees .
This Nike 's hiring strategy will lead the company to superior
productivity and morale . It also speed up process of interview and lower
its cost which also concern its future recruitments personality and also
good standing image as an employer . Another concern is the interpersonal
contact with its interviewees , which may lead to poor conversation and
interaction .
Nike should improve their computer-based system by extensive research

important that we have a personal communication with the applicant so
that we select the best employee out of the applicants...
