Abstract

The development of Internet-enabled mobile phone applications (apps) affords new opportunities for organizations as they seek to add talent to their workforces. Employers are increasingly reliant on third-party job placement websites (e.g., Monster.com), virtual job fairs, Social Networking Websites, and even massively multiplayer online games such as Second Life to recruit job candidates. Organizations are also utilizing their own websites and apps to both attract and evaluate new applicants. Accompanying these trends is the use of Internet-based smartphone testing for evaluating job candidates, as well as the use of mobile videoconferencing to conduct interviews. This chapter describes such trends, and identifies key questions for future research.
