This research study evaluated recruitment practices at the Auditor-General of South Africa (AGSA). The AGSA recruit highly skilled talented individuals in a country with a problem with a shortage of skills. Recruitment at the organisation is therefore an important function and key to the success of the AGSA. There is no clear indication that the AGSA, when filling vacancies, should recruit from its internal resources or recruit externally. This research looked to establish an ideal ratio between the recruitment from internal and external employees. To achieve the objectives, a literature review was conducted to determine the various combinations of recruitment. The literature was divided into talent management, internal and external recruitment, as well as succession management. The research took the form of a case study, looking at recruitment practices within the AGSA. A questionnaire was developed to gather information from employees in the AGSA, around their assessment of recruitment and their opinion on internal and external recruitment. The questionnaire was distributed online and various levels of employees within the organisation participated in responding to the questionnaire. The most recent recruitment reports were presented and analysed. Information was gathered from literature on recruitment and the AGSA employee’s by means of an online questionnaire. Recommendations were made to the AGSA taking into consideration the current practices within the organisation and the research undertaken for this dissertation.
