Abstract:
Over the past decades, personality has emerged as a central construct in recruitment and there is a growing interest in how established models, namely the Big Five and HEXACO, inform recruitment practices. This scoping review synthesizes findings from 46 peer-reviewed studies published between 2020 and 2025, offering a thematic overview of contemporary research in this domain. The review is structured around five focal areas: (a) the predictive validity of personality traits, (b) the inference of personality during recruitment, (c) personality signaling in job advertisements, (d) the role of personality in impression management, and (e) technological innovations, including the integration of artificial intelligence in personality assessment.
