Abstract:
The purpose of the study was to investigate the recruitment and selection practices of
organisations, using the Ghana Education Service (GES) Office in the Kumasi Metropolis
as a case. The study was guided by these objectives; to identify the recruitment and
selection practices, to examine how recruitment and selection practices affect the
performance of teachers and to assess the challenges faced by GES in recruitment, and
selection process. The population for the study was forty eight (48). Census method was
used to select all the forty eight (48) participants for the study. The study adopted a
descriptive survey research design and quantitative research approach. Questionnaire

for social scientists (SPSS version 20) was used to process all the quantitative responses
from the questionnaire. The study reviews that recruitment and selection play a pivotally
important role in shaping an organization’s effectiveness and performance. The study
again revealed that poor human relations planning affect recruitment and selection
practices. It was concluded that recruitment and selection has an important role to play in
