The March 2010 issue of the International Journal of Selection and Assessment (IJSA) is out, and the research covers a wide variety of recruitment and assessment topics as well as being truly international:
Unproctored internet-based testing (UIT) response distortion may be less than we fear (sample included cognitive and personality measures)
What factors are most important to organizations when choosing a test? This study suggests applicant reaction, cost, and diffusion of the test type in the field.
Personality (esp. core self evaluation) is related to the type of work preferred, and hence P-O fit
Career site features may differentially attract men and women
Corporate images do matter when it comes to organizational attractiveness
Who uses job-search websites and how to improve them (the sites, not the people)
Support for performance-based (as opposed to self-report) measures of emotional intelligence
Work samples, interviews, and ability tests perceived best by employees (why? because they work, say the participants)
...and last but definitely not least:
A "2 of 5" multiple-choice format seems superior than traditional "1 of 6" (you just have to make sure you can score them that way!)
