Abstract

This study examines the effectiveness of recruitment and selection processes in identifying and hiring top talent in Ghana. An online survey was conducted among HR professionals in various industries in Ghana to collect data on recruitment and selection processes. The results show that job fit and candidate qualifications are the most important factors in effective recruitment and selection processes, while diversity and inclusion are considered somewhat less important. Respondents generally believe that recruitment and selection processes are effective in identifying and hiring top talent but are somewhat less positive about the organization's ability to retain the top talent identified through these processes. Respondents generally consider the recruitment and selection processes to be fair and unbiased and are positive about their organization's reputation for recruitment and selection processes. Limitations of this study include the relatively small sample size and the use of self-reporting, which may be biased. Future research could address these limitations by using larger and more diverse samples and by collecting data using objective measures. The study provides important insights into the effectiveness of Ghana's recruitment and selection processes and highlights several areas for improvement, including the need to prioritize diversity and inclusion and to develop strategies to retain top talent.
