Its balanced approach explains why and how social media are commonly used in both employee recruitment and selection, exploring relevant theoretical constructs and practical considerations about their appropriateness and validity.

Included in the coverage: * Social media as a personnel selection and hiring resource: Reservations and recommendations. * Game-thinking within social media to recruit and select job candidates. * Social media, big data, and employment decisions. * The use of social media by BRIC nations during the selection process. * Legal concerns when considering social media data in selection. * Online exclusion: Biases that may arise when using social media in talent acquisition. * Is John Smith really John Smith? Misrepresentations and misattributions of candidates using social media and social networking sites.

Practitioners considering consulting social media as part of human resource planning or selection system design will find it a straight-talking guide to staying competitive.
