The recruitment, engagement, and training of the employees are among the core and critical roles for running an organization successfully. Gamification has been proven to be a promising tool that offers many innovative solutions for various domains. This study presents a systematic literature review (SLR) of research studies involving gamification for recruitment, engagement, and training of employees. The SLR has been synthesized by reviewing carefully selected research studies published between 2014 and 2019 in well-reputed venues. Apart from reviewing the state-of-the-art studies on gamified solutions for recruiting and job training problems, a taxonomy of gaming elements based on the context of use in different environments has also been proposed. Similarly, the gamification model to develop gamified solutions to problems has also been presented. Lastly, the research gaps in terms of open issues have been presented to provide future directions for the researchers in the area of gamified solutions for recruitment and job training. INDEX TERMS Gamification, recruitment, employee engagement, employee training, and gaming elements.

“…On the one hand, they need to look for, recruit and select employees who have the potential to adapt to the incoming change / challenge and progress in its context. On the other hand, they raise possibilities for using new technologies to make their work more efficient (Georgiou et al, 2019;Widhiarso et al, 2019). The survey showed that the human resources departments in the selection of employees try to comply with the established standards, focusing on both external and internal labor market.…”

The need for adaptation to rapid changes in the business environment, both on the part of employees and employers, implies dealing with new challenges, acquisition of new knowledge and skills and assumption of new roles and responsibilities. The base for companies is the availability of qualified human resources, which is ensured by the human resource management department mainly through an effective process of employee selection. The paper is oriented at the analysis of the current state of focus of organizations operating in Slovakia on systematicity and complexity of the selection process, the existence of an effective internal labor market and the regularity of development of used selection tools in the context of technological progress and changes in labor market requirements in regions of Slovakia. Results of the survey on (n = 343) enterprises show a positive trend, an increase of more than 10 percent in the orientation towards improvement of the process of employee selection, but on the other side it also confirm an increase in disparities between individual regions of Slovakia, some regions (Eastern Slovakia) progress much slower than the developed ones (Bratislava).

“…Moreover, numerous scholars have stressed the importance of designing games through iterative approximation and continuous improvement (e.g. Georgiou et al, 2019;Ivan et al, 2019). Hence, most researchers working in the area of gamification in HRM agree that gathering feedback on gamification environments from as many individual employees as possible, and adapting the design likewise ensures an everincreasing effectiveness of the use of gamification (e.g.…”

Gamification has recently been presented as a promising opportunity to improve human resource management (HRM) practices and tools. However, while the number of publications on gamification has been increasing in recent years, an overview of the current landscape of HRM-related literature of gamification is missing so far. Intending to support and ease the understanding of prior research findings in this field, this article conducts a systematic literature review. This study contributes to the field of human resources research by examining 45 research papers, aiming to explore areas of application and outcomes of the use of gamification in HRM. Propositions are outlined along with elaborating risks and approaches on how to mitigate the risks of using game design elements in HRM.
