Abstract

Abstract copyright UK Data Service and data collection copyright owner.


The main aims of this survey were:
to make a detailed examination of a sample of recent engagements
to give a picture of the recruitment methods used and their perceived advantages and disadvantages
to estimate the `share' of the engagement market held by the Employment Service Agency
to provide a measure of the impact on employers of the Jobcentre programme by means of a detailed comparison of Employment Offices and Jobcentres in terms of use and attitudes.

A later study, <i>Employers' Recruitment Practices : The 1992 Survey</i>, carried out by SCPR on behalf of the Employment Service (then part of the Employment Department) is available at the Archive under SN:3694.
