Four out of six clusters report that the most common recruitment
source (39-50 %) for the person responsible for HR are HR
specialists from outside of the given organisation. Confucian Asia
and Eastern Europe report more internal recruitment, focusing
on their HR department or on non-HR specialists from within
their organisation. However, non-HR specialists from outside the
organisation represent the least used source for recruiting leading
managers in HR.
