Try autowring PagedResourcesAssembler as a class member and change method signature something like below

@RepositoryRestController
public class EmployeeSearchController {

    @Autowired
    private EmployeeRepository employeRepository;

    @Autowired
    private PagedResourcesAssembler pagedAssembler;

    @RequestMapping(value = "/employees/search/all/search/all", method = RequestMethod.GET)
    public ResponseEntity>> getEmployees(EmployeeCriteria filterCriteria, Pageable pageable) {

        //EmployeeSpecification uses CriteriaAPI to form dynamic query with the fields from filterCriteria
        Specification specification = new EmployeeSpecification(filterCriteria);

        Page employees = employeeRepository.findAll(specification, pageable);
        return assembler.toResource(employees);
    }
}

This works perfectly with Spring Data Rest 2.1.4.RELEASE
