Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to investigate how remote working impacts team performance on recruitment teams in the Irish recruitment industry. The purpose of exploring this topic is to give insights into how effectively recruitment teams can work with a remote work model. High levels of teamwork are generally required in recruitment teams. This research endeavours to discover if there is a relationship with this team performance and working remotely.

To test this a quantitative research method was chosen. 41 participants answered a questionnaire which asked them to rate statements on a scale of 1 – 5, what level they agreed with the statements. The questionnaire was divided into 3 sections. Team level Analysis, Teamwork working from home and Teamwork working On-site.

The results are linked with topical literature in this area. There are many agreements with previous literature around collaboration with other departments being more difficult when working remotely. However, this study gives some indication to some recruitment processes being more effective when performed remotely. Processes like scheduling interviews and performing one’s individual role were reported to be enhanced when working remotely.

The results are inconclusive. The researcher proposes that further research is needed in this area. Perhaps a similar study with a larger sample size to give a more reliable indication of the effect which working remotely has on team performance in recruitment.
