Background of the Study
Recruitment and selection are fundamental human resource practices that significantly influence organizational success. These practices ensure that an organization attracts, selects, and retains the most qualified and capable candidates for various roles within the organization. Zenith Bank, one of Nigeria’s leading financial institutions, has a well-established recruitment and selection process aimed at building a highly skilled workforce. The bank’s operations in Niger State, where competition for talent is fierce and the local economy faces particular challenges, are no exception to the importance of effective recruitment and selection.
The recruitment and selection process involves attracting applicants, screening candidates, interviewing, and choosing the best-suited individuals for the roles within the organization. Zenith Bank has invested in innovative recruitment strategies, utilizing both traditional and digital platforms, as well as specialized selection tools to assess candidates’ skills, experience, and cultural fit. However, despite these efforts, the performance outcomes of the bank’s recruitment strategies in Niger State are not fully understood.
The effectiveness of recruitment and selection strategies is linked to organizational performance, as a well-selected workforce can lead to higher productivity, improved customer service, and better overall performance. This study will investigate how Zenith Bank’s recruitment and selection strategies impact its performance in Niger State, focusing on specific performance metrics such as employee turnover, productivity, and job satisfaction.
