Now-a-days we get everything in the palm of our hand. Technology

and innovation make our life smooth and easy. E-commerce is a blessing

which develop our civilization beyond our imagination. Now we depend much

on online shopping because e-commerce makes buy and sell lofty.

Developed countries reap up the benefit of e-commerce than the developing

country like ours. In Bangladesh there is little scope and application of e-

commerce. As most of the people are living under the poverty line, they are

not quit familiar with e-commerce. The success and achievement of

bdjobs.com is impressive and it develops the online recruitment system of

Bangladesh in many ways. So in fine we can conclude that the role of

bdjobs.com in developing the online recruitment system of Bangladesh will

be continued like the previous years.
