From the Paper:

"Empirical and theoretical research has also been completed that attempts to measure the effectiveness of varying levels of personalization applied to recruitment websites and the sections of a given company's websites as well. The findings show that the ability to create alerts that are sent automatically when a potential position of interest is posted is the most used application ((Jansen, et.al.) followed by the use of online resume building tools that resemble the commercially available uses of guided selling and sales configuration technologies (Bruyere, et.al.). These technologies are increasingly being used for the development of recruitment websites that are accessible by those with handicaps and are disabled (Bruyere, et.al.). "
