The last major narrative review of the employment interview was published over 10 years ago. Since then, 278 studies have examined numerous aspects of the interview. This review summarizes and critically examines this recent research. A framework is developed that partitions research into social, cognitive, individual difference, measurement, and outcome factors. This organizing framework allows an examination of trends over time and facilitates identification of gaps in the empirical literature. Within each of these major factors, each research topic is identified, defined, and reviewed. For each topic, the results of the previous 3 narrative reviews are briefly summarized, recent research is reviewed and critiqued, and directions for future research are identified.The employment interview continues to be one of the most popular selection and recruiting devices in organizations. Thus, it is not surprising that researchers have paid so much attention t o this important topic. However, over 10 years have elapsed since the last comprehensive narrative review of the employment interview (Harris, 1989). In this time, 278 studies have been published, which is a greater volume of work than the three previous reviews. For example, there were 25 studies,per year over the last 10 years, compared to 14 per year in Harris (1989), 17 per year The authors gratefully acknowledge the contributions of the following individuals who made helpful comments on earlier versions of this manuscript:
