Aphu Elvis Selase

Abstract


This study investigates the impact of recruitment and selection criteria on performance using GN Bank, Accra Ghana as point of convergence. The analyses of 130 valid responses obtained through a questionnaire that was administered to randomly selected respondents uncovered that recruitment and selection criteria have significant effect on organization’s performance (X2 = 35.723; df = 3; p<0.05). The more objective the recruitment and selection criteria, the better the organization’s performance (X2 = 20.007; df = 4; p<0.05). Therefore, its imperative to put candidates under meticulous check cum scrutiny so as to conceive an organizational palatability as the after-effect.
