4. Internet-based Recruitment
• Company Career Sites
– Enriched content, data and applicant tracking
• Job Boards
– Becoming more interactive, increased applicants’
attention and credibility (Nikolaou, 2014)
• Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS)

5. Internet-based Recruitment &
SNWs
• Social Networking Websites (SNWs)
– A whole new world…
– A cheap and effective means of recruiting candidates, and
especially approaching passive candidates / poaching (Nikolaou,
2014)
• Excessive usage numbers by both recruiters and job-
seekers
• Constantly increasing research attention, but
generally, an area where research still tries to catch
up practice (e.g. Roulin & Levashina, 2019; Kluemper et al., 2012; Van Iddekinge et al, 2016;
Roth et al., 2013)
5
7. Resume Storage, Parsing, and
Keyword Search
• Large storage databases combined with ATS &
candidates’ social media profiles
• Effective resume management and resume
parsing tools (e.g. keyword search and profile
matching)
• Data mining techniques and machine
translation technologies used to elicit
information on candidates
7
8. Cybervetting
• Applicants’ screening with the use of SNWs
• Used often in combination with candidates’
info (e.g. resume, on-line application)
– Important ethical / privacy concerns and
discrimination / adverse impact issues
– Limited research on how recruiters use this SNW
info (especially negative/incomplete), or in
combination with other info (e.g. psychometric
assessment) (Nikolaou, 2014)

10. Technology in Selection
10
Digital interviewing & Voice Profiling
Automated and computer-adaptive testing
Gamification and Games-Based Assessment
11. Digital Interviewing & Voice
Profiling
• Video-recorded structured interviews
•Benefits: increases standardization and time saving
•Limitations: lack of face-to-face interaction
– Text analytics and Voice Mining
– Algorithmic reading of voice-generated emotions
•Micro-expressions and automated emotion reading
11
12. Automated and computer-
adaptive testing
• Adaptive on-line testing
• Psychometric assessment
• Little has changed in the content, delivery
• Concerns over security conditions and
administration
12
13. Gamification and Games-Based
Assessment
• Gamified Assessment
– Soft Skills assessment; 8 skills
– Highly reliable, high construct validity
– Positive applicant reactions
– Initial evidence of predictive validity

17. Technology & Employer
Branding
• Strong links with applicant reactions and
SNWs (e.g. Glassdoor)
• Word-of-mouth vs. Word-of-mouse (WOM)
– The differential impact of Positive WOM vs
Negative WOM (Van Hoye, G., 2014).
• The uncertain impact of “Best employers”&
HR Awards competitions (Lievens & Slaughter, 2016)
17
18. Big Data and HR Analytics
• Not just HR Metrics… but using advanced
statistical methods and combining HR with
business data
– Data Mining
•Combining internal and external data
– For example:
•Predicting hiring success & high potentials
•Reducing turnover and increasing employee
engagement and satisfaction
– Using data from both internal and external sources 18
19. Critical issues 1/2
• Ethics
– Applicants’ consent
– Confidentiality
• Legal considerations
– Data privacy and data protection
– Test Security
• Equivalence of measures / techniques

J. L Farr and N. T. Tippins (Eds.) Handbook of Employee Selection (pp. 659-677). New York: Taylor & Francis.
19
20. Critical issues 2/2
• Bandwidth vs. fidelity
• Implementation, administration issues (e.g.
mobile devices, tablets) and cost development
• Un-proctored assessment in high stakes
selection
• Predictor constructs (e.g., personality,
cognitive ability) vs. predictor methods (e.g.,
video résumés, digital interviews)
20
21. The future is here, but… (1/2)
• Vast data pools and improved analytic
capabilities will fundamentally disrupt the talent
identification process.
– Availability of many more talent signals
– New analytic tools and increased computing power
However…
21
22. The future is here, but… (2/2)
• Limited validity evidence compared to old
school methods
• Privacy and anonymity concerns may limit
access to individual data
• Trade-off between development costs and
accuracy/validity and user experience
• Adverse impact / unfair discrimination concerns
Chamorro-Premuzic, T., Winsborough, D., Sherman, R. A., & Hogan, R. (2016). New Talent Signals: Shiny New Objects or a Brave New
World? Industrial and Organizational Psychology-Perspectives on Science and Practice, 9(3), 621-640.
22
23. Conclusions
• We live our lives online (and so do recruiters)
but…
Valid, evidence-based tools and methodologies
are required in order to take fair and just hiring
decisions

Notas do Editor
Candidates’ speech patterns are compared with an “attractive” exemplar, derived from the voice patterns of high performing employees. Undesirable candidate voices are eliminated from the context, and those who t move to the next round.
Video technology to administer scenario-based questions, image-based tests, and work-sample tests.
Do they provide incremental predictive validity over and above established constructs, e.g. GMA, conscientiousness?
Internet, Social Media
Engagement, Performance (?)
Evolv, an HR data analytics company, found that applicants who use Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome as their web browsers are likely to stay in their jobs longer and perform better than those who use Internet Explorer or Safari (Pinsker, 2015). Knowing which browser candidates used to submit their online applications may prove to be a weak but useful talent signal. Evolv hypothesizes that the correlations among browser usage, performance, and employment longevity reflect the initiative required to download a nonnative browser
