Abstract
Based on survey data conducted with SMEs in Kosovo, this study investigates the recruitment practices of SMEs in Kosovo. In general, our findings suggest that with an increase in financial turnover, there is an increase in the importance of human resource management. More specifically, we have found that SMEs in Kosovo make departments for human resource management functional when they are financially sound. Moreover, our findings suggest that SMEs with a higher number of employees tend to recruit more internally as compared to external recruitment. And finally, findings suggest a form of homogeneity between the sectors for the use of the form of recruitment; consequently, businesses in different sectors have no differences in their recruitment strategy.
