小公司雇用了美国私营部门一半的劳动力，但招聘研究传统上集中在大公司。本研究试图推进知识招聘做法如何随着企业规模的变化。结果表明，大公司的招聘做法一般是更正式和官僚比小公司。此外，研究表明，许多求职者对公司规模有不同的偏好，而偏好的公司规模与求职行为有关。总之，这些研究结果表明，公司规模是一个被忽视的招聘/求职环境的重要方面。匹配雇主和求职者的过程因公司规模的不同而有很大的不同，以至于人们可能会认为大公司和小公司构成了不同的劳动力市场。
Small firms employ half the U.S. private sector workforce, yet recruitment research has traditionally focused on large firms. The present study attempts to advance knowledge on how recruitment practices vary with firm size. Results suggest that the recruitment practices of larger firms are generally more formal and bureaucratic than those of smaller firms. In addition, the study demonstrates that many job seekers have distinct preferences regarding firm size, and that preferred firm size is related to job search behavior. Taken together, these findings suggest that firm size is an overlooked and important aspect of the recruitment/job search context. The processes involved in matching employers and applicants differ so much as a function of firm size that one might argue that large and small firms comprise separate labor markets.
