Abstract Impression management in recruitment is an applicant’s attempt to influence the interviewer’s evaluation and decision through various strategies and is often used by applicants in personnel selection. This paper provided an in-depth analysis of the effectiveness of impression management from the perspective of cognitive information processing and social interaction by exploring the efficiency and fairness of impression management in recruitment and selection. We suggest the desirability of impression management and the trade-offs that need attention in personnel selection. Future research should be based on a dichotomous perspective of efficiency and fairness, combine the needs of AI recruitment and special groups, explore multiple aspects around effectiveness of impression management, and focus on the dynamic changes and interactive impacts in impression management.
