“…This was attributed to flaws in implementation: the process was deficient in that it lacked a multiple rating structure, assessors were not adequately trained in psychological assessment procedures and the relatively young and inexperienced assessors were more likely to identify with applicants of the same age and experience (Savage, 2005). Thus, the legal case replicated the explanations of discrimination found in recruitment psychology, which suggest a positive recruiter bias toward applicants of a similar age and gender (Dipboye and Macan, 1994).…”

As governments become increasingly concerned about the fiscal implications of the ageing population, labour market policies have sought to encourage mature workers to remain in the labour force. The 'human capital' discourses motivating these policies rest on the assumption that older workers armed with motivation and vocational skills will be able to return to fulfilling work. This paper uses the post-redundancy recruitment experiences of former Ansett Airlines flight attendants to develop a critique of these expectations. It suggests that policies to increase older workers' labour market participation will not succeed while persistent socially constructed age-and gender-typing shape labour demand. The conclusion argues for policies sensitive to the institutional structures that shape employer preferences, the competitive rationality of discriminatory practices, and the irresolvable tension between workers' human rights and employers' property rights.

“…Initial impressions. Dipboye and his colleagues (Dipboye, 1982;Dipboye, Fontenelle, & Gamer, 1984;Dipboye, Stramler, & Fontenelle, 1984) applied the self-fulfilling prophecy notion in studying the impact of pre-employment evaluations on interview decisions. According to their thesis, examination of an application form will affect decision making in the interview, depending on the candidate's qualifications.…”

Literature since the last comprehensive review of research on the employment interview is summarized, and suggestions for future studies in this area are described. Major changes in findings regarding the validity of the interview, the impact of applicant sex, and the effect of interviewer characteristics/behavior on applicant reactions, as well as other issues, are reported. Contrary to the widely held belief that the interview has low validity, recent research indicates at least modest validity for this selection tool. Conversely, the effect of the campus interview on applicant reactions has been seriously questioned. Researchers are urged to examine several areas in social psychology, including the literature on attitudes‐intentions‐behavior, the elaboration likelihood model, and theories of discrimination to achieve greater understanding of the employment interview.

“…Furthermore, the effects of candidate availability on other factors, such as the interviewer's nonverbal behaviors or the length of the interview, could be explored. Other studies have focused on cognitive variables such as recall of information (Dipboye, Stramler, & Fontenelle, 1984) and attributions (Tucker & Rowe, 1979). lt would be interesting to examine the effects of being hard-to-get on social information processing.…”

Research on interpersonal attraction suggests that being elusive or “playing hard‐to‐get” is effective for increasing one's desirability and the likelihood of being selected as a dating partner. The following two studies explored the effects of this hard‐to‐get phenomenon in an employment decision setting. Both college students (Experiment 1) and professional recruiters (Experiment 2) reviewed application materials that conveyed that a candidate was either hard‐ (e. g., considering other job opportunities) or easy‐to‐get (e. g., not considering other opportunities) and then indicated their evaluations of these candidates. In both studies, being hard‐to‐get affected the interviewers’ judgments. However, this effect was moderated by the type of rationale given for being hard‐ or easy‐to‐get, as well as the objective qualifications (GPA) information. In addition, recruiter sex and candidate gender differences were explored. Male recruiters’ evaluations of application materials were more lenient than were females’ evaluations.
