Abstract

To explore whether recruitment specialist select strategies adaptively, a study was conducted where participants were asked to choose one of two candidates described by six characteristics. Subjects (N= 75) were assigned to one of two conditions: one, in which the simpler Take The Best (TTB) strategy performed best (noncompensatory environment) and one environment in which the information-intensive Weighted Additive (WADD) strategy led to the highest performance (compensatory environment). The task consisted of 24 decisions. The participant’s choices were analyzed and compared with prediction of two respective strategies. The study demonstrated that participants’ choice proportions were in line with WADD predictions in the compensatory environment, whereas with TTB in the noncompensatory environment. The results show that recruitment specialists are able to select appropriate strategies as a function of environment structure.
