Background of the Study
Recruitment is a cornerstone of organizational success, directly influencing the quality of talent and overall performance. Effective recruitment methods ensure the selection of candidates with the necessary skills and cultural fit for the organization (Chioma & Adeyemi, 2023). In Nigeria, First Bank stands as one of the leading financial institutions, with robust recruitment policies aimed at attracting top talent.
However, in Kano State, where First Bank operates in a highly competitive labor market, recruitment methods face challenges such as biases, inefficiencies in talent assessment, and reliance on traditional techniques. These issues may hinder the ability to attract and retain skilled employees, ultimately affecting organizational growth and competitiveness (Ibrahim & Musa, 2024).
This study critically examines the recruitment methods employed by First Bank in Kano State, evaluating their effectiveness in meeting organizational objectives.
Statement of the Problem
Despite investments in recruitment processes, First Bank in Kano State faces challenges such as prolonged hiring cycles, limited diversity in talent pools, and mismatches between candidates' skills and job requirements. These issues compromise the effectiveness of recruitment methods, leading to higher turnover rates and reduced productivity (Onwuka & Yusuf, 2025).
Addressing these challenges requires an in-depth understanding of the limitations of existing recruitment methods and the development of more effective strategies.
