Chapter 11 in Nonverbal Communication in Recruiting, 2022, pp 261-304 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract This chapter describes the basic principles of gestural communication and various dimensions in which it is expressed. It describes the mode of action of active gestures and the meanings of various passive gestures and exposed fingers, as well as the function and causes of displacement activities and adjustment gestures. Finally, it discusses the influences of palms and specific gestural signals on the effect in the interview, describes relationship messages conveyed by different gestures, and suggests techniques with which the recruiter can optimize his or her own effect.
