What it is
History
The RCI index measures anticipated changes in the activities of attracting and selecting personnel.
Values higher than 100 indicate an expected rise of such activities, while values lower than 100 indicate an expected drop of these activities. Values close to 100 mean that expected activities of this type will remain at the same level.
The Barometer of Labour Market in Greece: Recruitment Confidence Index (RCI).
This research study is organised by the Applied Research and Innovation Department of Alba Graduate Business School, American College of Greece. The study is carried out on an annual basis every March to May, with the purpose of monitoring the trends in the activities of attracting and selecting personnel as well as detecting the labor market expectations for the following months in Greece. RCI was conducted for the first time in Greece by Alba Graduate Business School in 2007. It was initiated in the UK in 1999 by Cranfield School of Management and The Daily Telegraph and was later introduced in Spain (2005), Portugal (2008) and Ukraine (2011).
