Synopsis

This book provides an insightful and comprehensive summary of the field of employee recruitment. Written from a scientific evidence-based perspective, and with contributions from global experts, it reviews the relevant research in the various areas of recruitment, considers the most pressing current issues in studying recruitment topics, and designs future research agendas for the field.

Organized into four sections, the text begins by presenting an overview of the study of recruitment, before moving on to demonstrate effective ways of attracting talent, covering methodology, practices, and organizational characteristics. The third section focuses on recruiting specific populations, including women, ethnic and racial minorities, college students, and employed job seekers. This book concludes by providing practical perspectives, with chapters describing how the applicant population is changing, how applicants interact with people and technology during recruitment, the interaction of applicant and organizational political ideology, and offering insights on how to design recruitment programs today and in the future.

A foundational resource on employee recruitment, this is the ideal text for scholars and graduate students in industrial and organizational psychology and human resource management. It will also interest practitioners working in the area, along with executive and line managers tasked with responsibility for talent management.
