In this new recruit negotiation, I would say that the BATNA’s of each party would have the most affect on the negotiation strategy. If the recruiter has a better applicant on their file, the negotiation strategy would perhaps be to ensure the total scores are higher than the better applicant instead of finding out if the applicant is the right fit for the job. The applicant’s negotiating strategy would also be different if he/she had a better job offer. Instead of trying to get the best total score that the recruiter is willing to give, the applicant could have more leverage if they said that a better salary/bonus was given to them in another
If it were done on a large scale, the open-ended questions would entail greater personnel employment to review the answers. In addition, the interview method would be at great expense if the survey population as very large. Standardized questions may cause the respondents to be less than truthful, and may exaggerate or lessen the results (Kendall, 2012, p. 46).

Gender, Attractiveness, and Competence in Hiring Situations Summary: In this study Desrumaux, De Bosscher, and Léoni (2009) examine the relationships between gender, attractiveness, and competence and how they influence perceptions of hireability, desirability, and utility for gender-typed jobs of different hierarchical statuses. They established several hypotheses: the first being that attractive applicants would be rated more highly in all areas for both managerial and non-managerial positions, than unattractive applicants (hypothesis 1). The second hypothesis is that attractiveness would increase ratings of hireability, desirability, and utility more in female-type jobs than male-typed jobs (hypothesis 2). The third states that highly competent applicants would be rated more highly than moderately competent applicants (hypothesis 3). The fourth hypothesis claims competence will have a greater effect on ratings of hireability, desirability, and utility for female-typed jobs than male-type jobs (hypothesis 4).
As discussed in the previous research, comparing with the extrinsic motivators, intrinsic motivators do have a more significant influence on increasing higher level employees’ work passion and company’s productivity. Therefore, avoiding using extrinsic rewards but the intrinsic ones becomes the most useful and primary managements for company to operate properly. In the study of “Effects of Extrinsic Financial Rewards on Intrinsic Motivation” conducted by Robert D. Pritchard, Kathleen M. Campbell, and Donald J. Campbell, it mainly talked about Deci’s hypothesis which explained how and why extrinsic financial rewards are not working well on higher level employees. In the investigation of employees’ motivation, Deci believes that financial rewards (like higher payments) depending on the work performance may have a negative effect on workers’ intrinsic motivation. In order to support his hypothesis, Deci did an experiment aiming to compare and find out the relationship between financial rewards and intrinsic motivation through participants’ task performance (Pritchard, P9).
