Abstract

In modern competitive labor markets, organizations do not only fight for attracting their future employees but also for retaining them. Though many approaches can be applied to attract skilled individuals, it is rather complicated to determine the ways how to improve retention after recruitment. This paper discusses the effect of recruitment strategies on the retention of employees, considering the aspect of perceived organizational support, or how employees perceive that their organization appreciates them. The sample for this research consisted of 115 respondents who answered questionnaires. To analyze the obtained data, correlation analysis, ANOVA, regression analysis, and structural equation modeling were used. As a result, it was found that recruiting strategies including employer branding, candidate experience, and selection of candidates significantly affected POS. Furthermore, POS positively correlated with retention and mediated the influence of recruitment practices on the same variable. This means that recruitment practices explained about 86% of variance in POS, which, in its turn, explained almost 82% of retention variation. Thus, the current research reveals that recruitment does not promote retention, while organizational support does, making workers feel valuable.

Keywords: Talent Acquisition, Employee Retention, Perceived Organizational Support (POS), Employer Branding, Candidate Experience, PLS-SEM, Mediation Analysis.
