Abstract (ENG): Modern technology affects many organizational procedures. One of these procedures is personnel selection, which is undergoing massive changes through the use of novel technologies in selection and assessment, resulting in, for example, digital interviews, gamified assessments, and the use of machine learning algorithms. Although, research can almost not keep up with these rapid advancements, it is pivotal for research to not only keep a critical eye on these developments but also to generate new research findings on technology-based selection procedures and to narrow the gap between research and practice. To do so, the six presentations in this symposium on the “hot topic” of novel technologies in psychological assessment all contribute to closing important gaps in the literature covering different technology-based assessments like cybervetting, technology-mediated interviews, machine learning, and gamification. The first presentation describes how the political affiliation of applicants can affect their perceived hirability by recruiters in social media cybervetting. The second paper describes the impact of the Corona pandemic on applicants’ perceptions of technology-mediated interviews. The third paper covers the investigation of visual cues in asynchronous video interviews and their relationship with personality. In the fourth presentation, the question is investigated whether the suitability of a certain job position influences the preference for human versus automated decision-making. The fifth contribution covers the question if the assessment of communication skills differs according to the communication medium. And finally, the sixth paper presents findings on the construct- and criterion-related validity of a game-based assessment (GBA) designed to measure cognitive ability.
