ABSTRACT
This chapter focuses on employee selection and touches on expertise in two different ways. First, employee selection is an important organizational process for assessing individuals and their attributes. In the selection context, expertise is, in other words, subject to assessment. Second, selectors make use of their expertise to assess candidates and make decisions about whom to hire. This expertise is not uniform and may be based on different domains of knowledge. Therefore, it becomes interesting to explore how selection experts legitimize their expertise and thus also their working methods and decisions.
