Our approach differs from previous empirical work in that we allow for changes in screening behavior to accompany changes in recruitment behavior. In the end, our results are consistent with those of the previous literature that ignores the auxiliary effect of recruitment through screening, in that we find no effect of recruitment methods on worker performance. Jed DeVaro Employer Strategies for Recruitment and Screening: High-Performance Systems or Diminishing Returns? http://works.bepress.com/jed_devaro/29 http://works.bepress.com/jed_devaro/29 Fri, 16 May 2008 07:15:43 PDT We study the effects of recruitment and screening methods on worker performance. If high-performance recruitment and screening systems exist, bundles of recruitment and screening methods would produce synergistic effects, increasing worker performance by more than the sum of the individual effects. An alternative hypothesis is one of diminishing returns, according to which adding a second method to an existing one produces a positive, but diminishing, effect on performance. Both hypotheses are definitively rejected by the data. Jed DeVaro One Talent or Many?
