Abstract: 
The purpose of this study is to examine the staff attraction and selection methods emphasizing the mobile telephony firms in Greece. Staff attraction and selection are fundamental processes for modern organizations. Data from 421 questionnaires answered by people employed in the three major mobile telephony firms in Greece have been statistically analysed. The statistical analysis revealed that the most widely used way of applicants attraction is through newspapers. On the contrary the least used way it through the social media. Yet, the analysis showed that employees consider the interview as most the most appropriate selection method. The employees agree with both attraction and selection methods used by the examined firms. As far as the motives are concerned, the most important is the meet of the employees’ expectations, while the least important is the prestige of the position. The study of the research results shows that the mobile telephony firms operating in Greece should continue to use interviews as the major staff selection method. As for the staff attraction methods, the examined firms may have to focus a bit more on the use of social media such as LinkedIn. These results may be used by the human resources managers in the staff attraction and selection process.
