This study examined the effect of strategic human resource management practices on the corporate performance of selected deposit money banks in Southeast, Nigeria. The specific objectives were to establish the extent to which recruitment and placement specialists affect productivity, investigate the influence of employees’ training on organizational profitability, and examine the nature of the effect of operational plans on the competitive advantage of selected deposit money banks in Southeast, Nigeria. The population of the study comprised nine hundred and seventy-eight (978) staff members. A sample size of 396 was determined using Cochran’s (1977) formula at a 5 percent margin of error. A survey research design was adopted for the study. The instruments used for data collection were questionnaires and interviews. A total of three hundred and ninety-six (396) copies of the questionnaire were distributed, while three hundred and fifty-eight (358) copies were returned. The t-test was used to test the hypotheses and determine the nature and strength of the research variables. The findings indicated that recruitment had a significant positive effect on placement, t(95, n = 358) = 25.622, p > .05. Employees’ training had a significant positive effect on organizational profitability, t(95, n = 358) = 25.622, p > .05. The study concluded that strategic human resource management practices had a positive and significant effect on the corporate performance of selected deposit money banks in Southeast, Nigeria.
