The 21st century is the era of the knowledge economy, the era of global economic integration, the era of high technology, the era of competition, and the era of human-centered management. The key to competition in the knowledge economy era is talent, and talent resources are the resources of the knowledge economy era, talent resources are the key strategic resources for the survival and development of enterprises. In the face of increasingly fierce competition, how can an organization like a company gain a competitive advantage and maintain it? This is a realistic and urgent issue facing every entrepreneur. The human factor is becoming increasingly critical to achieving a company's strategic goals. In this context, whoever can attract talent, retain talent, develop talent, and make the best use of talent will have the initiative in market competition and possess strong core competitiveness. Therefore, in the economic and social development of the contemporary society, the development, utilization, and management of human resources have not only become a decisive factor in economic growth but also a key strategic resource that directly constitutes a company's core competitiveness. The era of social and economic development has changed, and the foundation that drives social and economic development has also changed. As a new discipline in the management science of our country, the discipline of human resource management urgently needs to establish and improve an education and training system for human resource management talents that meets the needs of our country's economic and social development. Therefore, the purpose of compiling this series of books "Modern Human Resource Management" is, on the one hand, to meet the needs of teaching and training in human resource management, and on the other hand, to provide theoretical guidance and technical assistance in human resource management for our country's vast number of business managers. This book reflects theoretical, applied, and operational characteristics, combining theory with practice, emphasizing both academic and applied aspects, focusing on business management practice, and highlighting practicality. This book is one of the "Modern Human Resource Management" series, primarily exploring how companies can acquire the appropriate human resources they need. The book is divided into 11 chapters, focusing on elaborating the status and role of recruitment and selection in the human resource management system; the two foundational tasks of recruitment and selection—job analysis and human resource planning; the strategies and workflow of recruitment; the main tasks of recruitment—recruitment, selection, hiring, and evaluation; and the commonly used selection methods—psychometric tests, interviews, and situational simulations.
