The results reveal that detailed recruitment advertisement was associated with higher advertisement truthfulness, advertisement informativeness, appropriateness, attitude toward the advertisement, and the organizational attractiveness. When receiving negative publicity, detailed recruitment advertisement could further improve applicants’ organizational attractiveness.
