Lack of objectivity in the recruitment process
could hamper viability, trust, and ease of doing business
with the Nigerian public sector. This paper reviews
literature on recruitment process and performance,
particularly in the public sector. While empirical studies
have revealed that, proper recruitment process can lead to
the hiring of skilled employees and increase the
performance of both employee and the organization. We
observe that there are few empirically studies on the subject
in the Nigerian public sector. The authors recommend that
politicians, business leaders, religious and other elites,
should allow, departments, agencies saddle with the
responsibility of recruitment to do their job without internal
or external interference.
