A descriptive research design was adopted. The Resource-Based theory propounded by Barney (1986b) was also adopted for the study. Sixty five (65) respondents being management staff of Petroleum Filling stations  responded to fifteen (15) questions. The hypotheses were tested using Regression analysis to determine the extent recruitment advertisement affect selection decision. The result showed that informal recruitment method is most effective in selecting the right workers for the right job. Therefore, the researcher recommended the use of informal recruitment method especially for vacancies required to be filled at short notice. He went further to recommend the use of external recruitment method using digital platform for vacancies that would need to be filled in a longer time. Also internal recruitment such as promotion and job rotation was recommended for adoption but that extensive use of internal recruitment may imply that fresh candidates with new knowledge will not be opportune to work in the organization.
