“Just in time, Essentials of Employee Recruitment comprehensively reviews the most recent research on the topic. This book is full of expert authors who tackle the traditional topics (employer branding and applicant reactions) as well as newer ones (artificial intelligence, recruitment chatbots, political ideology, social media, and applicant neurodiversity). The book features online appendices with a full listing of the measures used for research in each of the core areas, saving readers hours of detective work spent tracking down measures.”

Daniel M. Cable, Professor of Organizational Behaviour, London Business School, UK

“This research-based book on the science and practice of recruitment could not be more timely. Low unemployment rates and changing societal and workplace norms have given many job seekers considerable leverage vis a vis employers. Moreover, as several authors in this edited volume note, employers need to be more strategic in recruiting, to present more consistent recruitment experiences to their applicants, and to make use of new recruitment methods and technologies. At the same time, in order to better help employers, researchers need to conduct more multi-stage, multi-organization, and multi-practice studies using varied designs and multiple levels of analysis. This book presents the best recruitment research available to employers and clear guidelines for researchers on how to conduct more useful and impactful research. I highly recommend it.”
