Recruiting Through the Stages: A Meta‐Analytic Test of Predictors of Applicant Attraction at Different Stages of the Recruiting Process

Abstract: We used meta-analysis and semipartial correlations to examine the relative strength and incremental variance accounted for by 7 categories of recruiting predictors across multiple recruitment stages on applicant attraction. Based on 232 studies (250 samples, 3,518 coefficients, n = 108,632), we found that characteristics of the job, organization, and recruitment process, recruiter behaviors, perceived fit, and hiring expectancies (but not perceived alternatives) accounted for unique variance in applicant attra… Show more

“…Parallel with other specific types of P-E fit during the recruitment process, such as person-job fit (Uggerslev et al, 2012), we found that job seekers' perceptions of how the reward package fits with their personal needs predicts their job pursuit intentions. In addition, the results show that the positive effect of person-reward fit is partially mediated by perceptions of personorganization fit.…”

“…Research has consistently found that perceptions of fit with the values of the organization (i.e., value congruence) is linked to organization attractiveness, even for job seekers that have no direct experience with the organization (Uggerslev et al, 2012). This means that job seekers use information sources during the recruitment process to infer organizational values (Saks & Ashforth, 1997).…”

“…Investigating such potential moderations is important because organizational investments to enhance a candidate's experience through engaging, high tech assessments and informative websites may be wasted if a key factor-timeliness-is not well addressed. A second contribution is to consider how the role of timeliness satisfaction and the strength of the perceptions-attractiveness relationships vary as a function of where the applicant is in the recruitment process (Uggerslev, Fassina, & Kraichy, 2012). Although recruitment theory clearly suggests shifts in applicant expectations as their candidacy advances, studies seldom clarify what those shifts are.…”

“…Thus, the -organizational pre-entry period‖ (Klotz, Veiga, Buckley & Gavin, 2013, p. 104) is a critical time when job seekers gather a significant amount of information that they use to form attitudes and intentions towards a potential employer. Specifically, Rynes, Heneman III and Schwab (1980) and others (e.g., Cable, Aiman-Smith, Mulvey& Edwards, 2000;Irving & Meyer, 1994;Turban & Cable, 2003;Uggerslev, Fassina & Kraichy, 2012;Yu, 2014) have found that job seekers' reactions toward a company's recruitment efforts are affected by information about the company (e.g., reputation for treating employees fairly, positive social environment), the jobs (e.g., fair compensation, interesting, opportunity to grow), the recruiters' behaviors (e.g., display warmth, communicate knowledge of jobs and company), and the selection process (e.g., perceived fairness, timeliness, consistency). The company website is often a source for some of this information, and plays a critical role early in the job-search process when job seekers make a decision about whether or not to apply with little or no personal contact with the company.…”
