This study assessed the impact of recruitment strategies on organizational performance within Tanzania’s Public Service Recruitment Secretariat (PSRS) in Dodoma. Focusing on internal recruitment, external recruitment, employee referrals, and online advertising. Guided by the social exchange theory, the research employed a positivist research philosophy, utilizing a quantitative research approach.

The results indicated that recruitment strategies significantly impact performance. Internal recruitment was most influential, underscoring the importance of leveraging internal talent and networks. The study concludes that recruitment strategies, particularly internal recruitment, external recruitment, and employee referrals, significantly impact organizational performance within the Public Service Recruitment Secretariat in Dodoma.
