Cross sectional research design was adopted in studying four (4) of these institutions. Our respondents were managerial employees constituting the population of the study. From the field survey, we retrieved and analyzed one hundred and six (106) copies of questionnaire from the participants; Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient statistical tool was used to determine the relationship existing between the variables while the p-value obtained were used to test hypotheses formulated for the study. Findings revealed the existence of significant relationship between the dimensions of recruitment methods namely; internal recruitment and external recruitment and employee performance; thus, the methods deployed in organizations for recruitment are as serious business as the success of any organization or efficiency in operations within the organization and service delivery depends on the quality of its workforce who was recruited into the organization through those methods. It was concluded that that recruitment method is indispensably imperative to our public institutions such that by getting the right people in the right place at the right time, doing the right job becomes an essential element for value delivery of services unto the people, thus the method deployed per time in recruiting workforce in turn affects their performance.
