"Consistent with the aspirations for the Oxford Handbook Library, this volume would be useful to a diverse audience, including graduate students, instructors, researchers, practitioners, or those involved in shaping or challenging public policy when it comes to personnel selection and assessment. As such, The Oxford Handbook of Personnel Assessment and Selection is a fine competitor to work previously available." -- Richard Klimoski, PsycCRITIQUES
