RECRUITMENT PROCESS IN NIGERIA PUBLIC SECTOR: LITERATURE REVIEW

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.
