This article reports on the results of a survey conducted in 1996 by AGB McNair of recruitment practices within Australian firms. The responding sample numbered 1448 and is representative of all non-government business establishments which had recruited to fill a vacancy at some time during the previous 12-month period and whose employees were mainly non-professional. The article highlights the relative importance of different recruitment methods, how the incidence of their use varies with both the occupation category of the vacancy and establishment size, and the very different roles played by the public employment service provider (i.e., the CES) and private employment agencies in the recruitment process.
