Three key contextual/environmental issues to consider are the firm, the vacant job, and the labor market(s) where recruits are obtained (Cascio & Aguinis, 2011). Features of the firm include the overall perception of the company (i.e. brand) and strategies, such as targeting or messaging, along with the culture or personality of the organization. A key feature of the actual vacancy is whether it is critical to the operations and mission of the organization. For example, if a position had a high level of technical expertise that was considered core to the mission of an organization, it may require a more diverse geographical recruitment strategy to find qualified applicants. The labor market basically takes into account the number of qualified candidates compared with the demand for a particular job.
