An examination of the relationship between recruiter behavior and job-seeker was studied at a medium-sized, western United States university. Data was collected through two surveys by students enrolled in an upper-division staffing course who were actively searching for a position (i.e., internship, permanent job). Two assignments related to the university career fair were used and analyzed using structural equation modeling in AMOS (SPSS version 22). The results of this study validate previous findings that attitudes toward the company is significantly and positively influenced by recruiter behavior, and that attitudes toward the company is positively correlated with job-seekers’ word-of-mouth intentions.
