Peer reviewedMiller, Shazia Rafiullah; Rosenbaum, James E. – Work and Occupations: An International Sociological Journal, 1997

They mistrust applicant information from most sources, emphasizing interviews and "gut instinct," which often gives invalid results. They tend to use information from other employees or long-term social networks. (SK)
