Personnel Management and Recruitment

Abstract

This article will set out to compare some findings of a study on recruitment with the more general pronouncements on selection which are available in the literature on personnel management. The research study investigated the recruitment systems of major employees, all with relatively developed personnel functions, in three areas of Britain and West Germany; it concentrated on manual and low‐level white‐collar jobs in the 24 largest employers in each area. Although the study confirms the importance of internal recruitment, even where there is no developed seniority system or internal labour market, this article will concentrate on external recruitment (and/or some of the general conclusions of the study, but not on the Anglo‐German comparative dimension).
