RECRUITERS’ STRATEGIES FOR CANDIDATE ATTRACTION - A qualitative analysis on technical recruiters’ individual strategies for attracting candidates at the first recruitment meeting in Turkey
Abstract
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to examine recruiters’ potential to play a role in
candidate attraction, from the perspective of the recruiter, in the recruitment
processes, by looking at recruiters’ individual strategies at the first recruitment
meeting.
Theory: In order to study the phenomenon as a performance of the recruiter, symbolic
interactionism theory was utilized to approach social interactions in which
candidates and technical recruiters meet for the first time for a job interview.
Goffman’s impression management theory contributed as a guideline to give
insight into which type of strategies that recruiters employed through
abductive approach.
Method: A qualitative research design was employed to examine the purpose of this
study, on 5 observations and 10 semi-structured interviews. Respondents were
in- house technical recruiters, who have 3-5 years of experience and working
at small and medium size technology companies in Turkey.
Result: In order to appear more appealing to candidates, particular adjustments are
done as a result of considering the first job interview as the performance of the
recruiter. Different from the previous studies, this study offers a performative
approach on recruitment, an abductive approach to data analysis, an insider
perspective on HRM, and touching upon Turkey as a market that is
unexplored.
