This book brings together top recruitment and selection scholars to discuss recent challenges in employee recruitment and selection underpinned by research evidence from different European countries.

Broadly speaking, recruitment and selection are concerned with attracting qualified candidates to apply for available jobs and selecting the best ones from the pool of available candidates. As such, they are critical to any business. Numerous toolkits and best practice guides exist to help recruiters navigate different stages of recruitment and selection. However, traditional recruitment and selection practices should be adjusted to respond to diverse challenges in the current and future world of work related with increased volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity. Specific examples of these challenges are related with the accelerated use of technology and artificial intelligence, as well as more flexible work practices, such as hybrid and platform-based work. The chapters in this volume cover the use of technology and gamification, applicant discrimination and stigmatization, and applicant reactions to technology-mediated selection methods, among others. This book is the ideal text for students, scholars and researchers of HRM, Business and Management and Organizational Psychology. It will also interest practitioners and professionals in the field.

The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of European Journal of Work and Organizational Psychology.
