本文旨在研究企業社會責任 (CSR) 與環境、社會與治理 (ESG) 在高階人才招募中的重要性。以往的研究中，對中階或高階管理階層招募時較缺少特別考量。本文藉由回顧前述的概念和主要文獻來彌補這些不足之處。

對於企業未來的招募需求，企業社會責任和ESG的落實與報告之重要性與受關注程度日益增長。由於組織受到了相當程度的激勵，不僅是為了他們的投資者而認真看待企業社會責任和 ESG，他們也應該考慮其對招募的影響，因為未來的管理者將是年輕的世代，他們需要新的策略來獲得和保留。

This paper highlights the importance of corporate social responsibility (CSR) and environmental, social and governance (ESG) in high level recruitment. Previous research is lacking specifically considering middle or upper management recruiting. This paper attempts to rectify this shortcoming by reviewing the aforementioned concepts and key literature. The relevance of CSR and ESG engagement and reporting on recruitment needs of the future becomes apparent quickly, as organizations are heavily incentivized to take CSR and ESG seriously not only for their investors. As shown in this thesis, they should also consider the impact on recruiting, as managers of the future will be of younger generations, who require new strategies to acquire and keep.
