Theory and Practice in Managerial Selection: Do We Practice What We Preach?: A Report on Student Characteristics Desired and Selection Tools Used in Hospitality College Recruiting

Abstract

This research project provides interesting insights into the campus selection practices of hospitality firms. The study first identifies and ranks the student characteristics currently most valued by hospitality campus recruiters, and compares these results to previous findings. Then, a unique contribution of the study is to identify the selection tools (application blanks, resumes, interviews, tests) hospitality recruiters use to identify candidates who possess the desired characteristics. Implications for students, for educators, for recruiters, and for further research are considered.
