In this closing editorial we reflect on key topics presented in this special issue on selection and recruitment, with a view to identifying gaps in the literature, and exploring where next. Four key themes have emerged including; (1) the impact of using new technologies in selection and recruitment; (2) addressing social accountability, diversity and fairness issues in selection; (3) increased emphasis on non-academic personal attributes in selection, and (4) attraction and recruitment in postgraduate recruitment. The implications of findings from this collection of studies and opinion pieces are discussed in relation to future research, policy and practice.
