These processes are timely and can be costly, this study aims to identify if they necessary for the performance and retention of staff. The retention of staff is something that businesses are finding increasingly difficult currently. How can businesses find the best staff and retain them long term.

There have been many studies undertaken previously which have looked at and recognised the importance of the recruitment and selection processes which are used by those involved in recruitment. This study is going to take those findings from previous work and using this to further delve into this area of research and look at some of the developments over the last number of years. This research is essentially building on and giving a fresh perspective on
this idea.

A qualitative research method was used in this research with seven interviews taking place with individuals who are involved in the recruitment process as part of their current roles. These interviews gave an in-depth look at the perspectives of those who are recruiting and using recruitment and selection processes daily. This study helps to identify if businesses and organisations can benefit from the use of strong recruitment and selection processes.
