The primary objective was to examine how the bank’s recruitment and selection strategies influence its operational efficiency, revenue growth, and profitability. An explanatory research design was employed to establish causal relationships between recruitment practices and organizational performance. Data was collected through structured questionnaires, complemented by secondary data from organizational documents and external sources. The analysis was conducted using descriptive statistics (mean and standard deviation) and inferential statistics (correlation and multiple regression analyses) through SPSS Version 29. The study’s major findings revealed that effective recruitment and selection practices have a significant positive impact on organizational performance. In particular, high-quality candidates and strategically aligned recruitment processes were found to enhance profitability, operational efficiency, and revenue growth. Based on these findings, the study concludes that aligning recruitment practices with organizational goals is essential for improving performance outcomes. The research recommends that the Bank of Abyssinia should enhance feedback mechanisms, refine selection criteria, strengthen strategic alignment, invest in recruitment technologies, and focus on employer branding. Future research is suggested to explore the long-term effects of recruitment practices and investigate their relevance across different organizational settings.
