Abstract
This study on the Effect of Recruitment on Employees' Performance in East Africa
University in Punt land Somalia, aimed at finding out about the major recruitment
practices used by the university and how they affect employee performance; and was
guided by four objectives: To determine the demographic characteristics of the
respondents, to examine source of recruitments used and employee performance in
East Africa university in Punt land, to investigate the employee performance in EAU in
Punt land and to determine the relationship between recruitment and employees'
performance in East Africa university.
To figure out the problem, literature was reviewed on the main variables of the study
to enrich field responses. It mainly focused on the methods of recruitment, their
advantages, disadvantages and the suggested literal best methods of going about the
recruitment process. Both qualitative and quantitative research designs were relied
upon and used on a sample of 52 respondents from East Africa in Punt land Somalia.
The findings indicated that the East Africa University was dominated by men (with
61.5%), and that level of education of most of the employees was dominated by
degree holders. It was further seen that the main source of recruitment at East Africa
University was internal recruitment and they only use external when there is no
qualified employee within the organization. It was also found that the employees'
performance at East Africa university was poor as seen in findings because there is
conflict, ambiguity of jobs, labor turnover and customer dissatisfaction which all
represent employee performance in the company as the mean mostly showed agree.
The study further concluded that recruitment and employee performance of EAU are
significantly correlated and that the relationship between them is strong at 0.04
confidence level. More so the study discovered that east Africa University does not
