Few studies have assessed the differences between organizational and third-party websites, especially with regards to applicant quality. Organizational websites are hypothesized to bring in higher quality applicants than third-party websites because of the amount of organization-specific information they contain. This study assesses perceived differences between web recruitment sources in applicant quality using a convenience sample of resumes from job applicants from a midsize company. Resumes were rated by human resource personnel in terms of applicant quality. The organizational website contained higher quality applicants on average compared to four third-party website sources.
