Purpose This paper aims to review the latest management developments across the globe and pinpoint practical implications from cutting-edge research and case studies. Design/methodology/approach This briefing is prepared by an independent writer who adds their own impartial comments and places the articles in context. Findings This research paper focuses on the relationship between a recruiter's level of political skill and an organization's reputation when measuring the success of an organization's recruitment efforts. The findings confirm that high levels of political skill in recruiters delivers value to organizations with both good and bad reputations. This is because when a recruiter with high political skill is involved any increases in organizational reputation – in part through the recruiter's own efforts to boost the organization's brand – causes the candidate to become more strongly attracted. However this effect doesn't happen when a low political skill recruiter is involved.
