Recruitment in personnel psychology and beyond: Where we've been working, and where we might work next

Effective recruitment of talent remains extremely critical. As part of Personnel Psychology's 75‐year anniversary celebration, we review the state of recruitment research, emphasizing the journal's extensive contributions to this literature. Specifically, we review contributions and opportunities in terms of the recruitment outcomes that have been studied, theoretical progress that has occurred, and methodologies that have been employed to inform scholarship and practice. Throughout, we particularly highlight trends that have occurred over the years in the pages of Personnel Psychology. We conclude with several implications for practice and directions for ongoing recruitment research.
