AB  - Purpose–The purpose of this paper is to reviews the latest policies in recruitment and retention, paying particular attention to initiatives at UPS.Design/methodology/approach–This briefing is prepared by an independent writer who adds his own impartial comments and places the articles in context.Findings–Hiring the most highly‐qualified candidate for a job, whether recruiting from a prestigious business school or tempting a “star” performer from a rival company, may be counter‐productive.
