Description
The contemporary labor market is faced with numerous challenges, with labor shortages standing out prominently (Causa et al., 2022). This not only has a profound impact on global economic growth but also undermines the operational efficacy of organizations. The list of jobs classified as ‘shortage occupations’ is swiftly expanding, prompting organizations to become creative and innovate in their search and selection of potential candidates. Consequently, there has been a resurgence of interest in applicant reactions research. Scholars are assimilating concepts from the marketing and service management literature, drawing parallels between applicants and consumers (Ghielen et al., 2021). Organizations are diligently exploring avenues to provide an optimal ‘candidate journey’ or ‘collective candidate experience’ (McFarland et al., 2022). Novel trends in selection are being introduced such as the concept of ‘open hiring’, wherein people can start working without undergoing traditional job selection procedures. “The job is the test” (www.openhiring.nl). Game-based approaches are being developed to enhance the selection process’s enjoyment and bolster the appeal of the organization (Aouam et al., 2023).The goal of this ENESER conference is to provide fresh insights into these emerging themes by incorporating a motivational approach towards job search, attraction and selection.
