Abstract

This study examines employee perceptions of different recruitment channels and their impact on initial job performance in Indian organizations. Recruitment channels such as campus placements, job portals, employee referrals, recruitment consultants, and walk-in interviews were analysed to understand their influence on job satisfaction, job involvement, organizational commitment, and early job performance. Primary data were collected from 130 employees and 30 HR recruiters using structured questionnaires. The study adopts a quantitative research design and employs one-way ANOVA and Tukey post-hoc tests for statistical analysis. The findings indicate that while job satisfaction and involvement do not significantly differ across recruitment channels, early job performance varies notably based on the recruitment source. Campus recruitment and employee referrals demonstrate superior early performance outcomes compared to other channels. The study highlights the strategic importance of recruitment channels in shaping early employee productivity and provides actionable insights for improving recruitment effectiveness.
