“I” feel(s) left out: The importance of information and communication technology in personnel selection research

Roulin, Nicolas Langer Markus Bourdage Joshua S.

[...]ICTs have also largely changed hiring professionals’ work, both in terms of where or when they can perform their job and how they perform their job (consistent with Hu et al.’s work design discussion). [...]although there is more work to be done, the interview is one area where increased adoption of ICT may present a number of opportunities. [...]the behavior and manifestations of these constructs may differ depending on the integration of ICT. [...]in the context of interviewing, there are important limitations to trying to limit construct proliferation or engage in “defragging” (in the terms of Hu et al.), and instead there is arguably value in new lines of research to better understand the benefits and risks associated with ICT. [...]although it is beyond the scope of this commentary to provide a comprehensive review of the areas of personnel selection that have evolved because of ICT, we would like to briefly mention two additional and prominent examples for consideration.
