Enhancing public sector recruitment practices

Effective recruitment practices are paramount to cultivating and bolstering a strong workforce. This project is based on a strategic partnership with the Behavioral Insights Team at the City of Scottsdale and conducts experimental evaluations of recruitment practices using electronic platforms, including social media (e.g., Facebook). The purpose of the project is to test and uncover effective practices for bolstering existing recruitment practices in local government as well as how to reduce various biases in the recruitment and hiring processes.
