The present research is descriptive-correlational in nature and was carried out as a cross-sectional study in 2025 among all employees of the Islamic Azad University of Bushehr Province, whose total number was 270. From this population, 159 individuals were selected based on simple random sampling using Cochran’s formula.To collect the data, a researcher-made questionnaire on competency-based human resource recruitment was used. The validity and reliability of the questionnaire were measured at 0.91 and 0.93, respectively. Data analysis was performed using SPSS version 26 and SMART PLS version 3 software.The results of the data analysis showed a significant relationship among the dimensions and components of competency-based human resource recruitment, including factors affecting human resource recruitment, the importance of selecting and appointing competent personnel, outcomes of recruiting qualified employees, mechanisms for recruiting competent personnel, indicators of competent human resource recruitment, barriers to recruiting competent human resources in the modern era, and sources of recruiting competent human resources at the Islamic Azad University of Bushehr Province.The findings suggest that human resources are considered the most essential and valuable asset of any organization; therefore, human resource supply and recruitment processes should be aligned with the specific characteristics of each organization and the conditions of today’s competitive market.
