The study suggests that using 'rule-bender' language in job postings can inadvertently attract narcissistic candidates, increasing the likelihood of unethical behavior, especially in accounting roles.
Nick Seybert noted, 'Even before a single job seeker has clicked 'Apply,' language contained in a job posting may be too seductive for narcissists to ignore, increasing the chances of attracting unethical applicants to the position.'
Narcissists tend to obstruct team performance and excel in leadership roles, implying that the use of enticing job descriptions may facilitate their hiring.
The research indicates that recruiters may unwittingly attract self-admiring performers by employing language that emphasizes ambition and innovation, leading to potentially unethical hires.
