About
Dr. Franziska Leutner is a leading researcher at the intersection of organizational psychology, algorithmic decision-making, and fairness in personnel selection. Her work critically examines how emerging technologies—particularly artificial intelligence and automated assessment tools—reshape the candidate experience and perceptions of justice in hiring. In her highly cited 2022 paper, "Robots are judging me: Perceived fairness of algorithmic recruitment tools" (19 citations), Leutner investigates how job applicants react to being evaluated by algorithms rather than human recruiters, revealing key insights into the psychological mechanisms behind perceived fairness, trust, and resistance to automated screening. This contribution is pivotal as organizations increasingly adopt game-based assessments and AI-driven resume screening. Beyond this, her broader research portfolio explores psychometric assessment design, individual differences, and the ethical implications of technology in the workplace. With her work informing both academic discourse and practical HR policy, Leutner is shaping how we understand the human side of digital transformation in hiring—making her a vital voice for students and practitioners navigating the future of fair, transparent, and effective recruitment.
