Employers' Recruitment Practices And The Long‐Term Unemployed

Abstract

Since the early 1970s, many studies have examined employers' recruitment practices and how they vary — over time, with the unemployment level and between labour markets, occupations and types of employer. Two recent articles in Personnel Review make a detailed account of the previous work unnecessary. In the first of these, the previous work is discussed and its findings evaluated against recent empirical evidence, and the second begins to relate this work (again in the light of recent findings) to the approaches to recruitment and selection found in personnel management textbooks.
