From the Paper:

"Finally, companies are able to include Web addresses with job postings. This enables potential candidates to go online, search for company benefits, product lines, location and size, as well as numerous other factors that might influence decisions of a potential candidate.
These details are beneficial and may be omitted from a traditional advertisement to keep the cost of the ad down. This also helps with the screening process. The more information the job applicant has, the better he is able to screen himself for a position, decreasing the number of unqualified applicants. There are also companies such as Webhire (formerly Restrac) and Lawson Software's iJob, that have capabilities that integrate online searching with resume tracking and database management. "
