In consequence, many online recruitment service providers are facing one common issue: how to attract and sustain customers. Given the issue’s significance, this article takes the 51job, a leading online recruitment service provider in China, as the research target to investigate various key factors of its services and characteristics by using a qualitative research method – critical incident technique (CIT). Based on the findings, this article provides concrete and feasible suggestions for online recruitment service providers which are eager to acquire and retain customers.
