This study was important because of the need to ensure transparent, unbiased, fair, and equitable employee recruitment and selection processes in the public sector in general and in the Uganda Bureau of Statistics (UBOS) in particular.

The study found 76% of observed variability, which showed how HR Recruitment Policy led to effective employee performance. This was explained by the two independent variables (HR Recruitment Policy and Employee Performance in UBOS). R=0.872 was the correlation coefficient between the observed value of the dependent variable and the predicted value based on the regression model. The observed value of 0.760 indicated that the linear regression model did not fit well. The Adj. R2 (0.771) was the proportion of the variability in the dependent variable explained by the linear regression. The results showed that proper human resource recruitment policy remained the major factor of improved employee performance of UBOS.
