Toward A Unifying Framework Of Recruiter Performance And Organizational Effectiveness

Abstract

Recruiting qualified employees is a challenge for organizations. As researchers we need to help practitioners by synthesizing research on recruiter training to develop a starting point in which to frame ideas for recruiter training. In this article I propose a unifying framework for looking at recruiter performance in relationship to organizational effectiveness. A review of the literature on applicant impressions of recruiter behaviors and recruiting activities and recruiter goals and training, identified opportunities for recruiter training and performance. Implications and future research directions pertaining to recruiter training are also reviewed.
