Enligt undersökningar som chefsorganisationen Ledarna publicerar årligen finns det en återkommande problematik med att rekrytera unga kvinnor till chefspositioner. Syftet med examensarbetet är att undersöka vad som kan inverka på kvinnors vilja att söka en chefstjänst och att utforma en HR strategi som främjar och motiverar kvinnor att söka chefstjänster. Unga kvinnor kan känna tvekan inför chefskap på grund av känslan av bristande erfarenhet och svårighet med att identifiera sig med den stereotypa chefsnormen. Aspekter av chefskapet som motiverar är möjligheten att kunna påverka, fatta beslut samt personlig utveckling. Att en chef har hög arbetsbelastning är något som omnämns som negativt samtidigt som att utmaningen i chefskapet lockat intervjupersonerna. Fokus på svårigheter med att balansera chefskap och privatliv/familjeliv kan vara en generell förklaring till att färre unga kvinnor väljer en chefskarriär. Chefskapet innebär i många fall en möjlighet till flexibel arbetstid, vilket gynnar balansen mellan arbets- och privatliv. En nyckelfaktor för att kombinera chefskap med familj och barn är en jämställd fördelning av hushållsarbete och ansvar för barnen. Flera av intervjupersonerna har fått sin tjänst genom uppmuntran, något som varit avgörande för att anta chefskapet. För att motivera unga kvinnor till chefstjänster behövs ett engagemang där potentiella kvinnliga chefer upptäcks och uppmuntras till karriär. Arbetet grundas på en kvalitativ ansats med semistrukturerade intervjuer som insamlingsmetod. Resultaten har analyserats utifrån den teoretiska referensram som sammanställts inom fokusområdet. Genomgående följer arbetets uppbyggnad de tematiseringar som baseras på frågeställningarna: Vad är det som gör att unga kvinnor kan tveka inför chefskap? Vad kan motivera unga kvinnor att vilja bli chef? Hur kan arbetslivet som chef kombineras med privatlivet/familjelivet? Hur kan rekrytering förbättras för att motivera unga kvinnor att söka chefstjänster? / According to surveys conducted by the organization Ledarna, there is a recurrent problem of recruiting young women to senior positions. The purpose of this essay is to investigate what may affect women's desire to seek a managerial position and to design a HR strategy that promotes and motivates women to seek executive positions. Young women feel doubtful about manager positions because of the feeling of lack of experience and difficulty identifying themselves with the stereotype manage standard. Aspects of the management that motivate are the ability to influence, make decisions and gain personal development. The fact that a manager has a high workload is something that is referred to as negative while the challenge in the manager position attracted the interviewees. Focusing on difficulty in balancing work and private/family life can be an overriding explanation that fewer women choose a managerial career. In many cases, the manager position offers an opportunity for flexible working hours, which benefits the balance between work and private life. A key factor in combining management positions with family and children is an equal distribution of household work and responsibility for the children. Several of the interviewees have gained their position through encouragement, something that was crucial for the manager position. In order to motivate young women into management positions, engagement is needed in which female executive subjects are discovered and encouraged to career. The work is based on a qualitative approach with semi structured interviews as a collection method. The results are analyzed based on the theoretical reference frame compiled within the focus area. Throughout the structure of the work, the thematic approaches are based on the questions: What is it that makes young women doubt about leadership? What can motivate young women to want to become a manager? How can work life as a manager be combined with privacy/family life? How can recruitment be improved to motivate young women to seek executive positions?

Companies and recruiters can now rely on the benefits that the expressive reach of the Internet brought to publishing job opportunities, while the professionals looking for a job have increased resources and tools available to conduct research for job opportunities published by companies in their corporate websites, in online classified ads and in other webbased services, such as online social networks. With the popularity of online social networks, new trends have emerged in the processes for recruitment and job search, fostering the construction of relationships and communities intended to leverage the experience of recruiters and professionals looking for a job. And, in face of this reality, this research aims at analyzing and describing how online social networks support the processes of recruiting and searching for job opportunities. In this exploratory descriptive research, for which the instrument used for collecting data was the bibliographical research, LinkedIn was identified and highlighted among the online social networks that appear as a tool to support the processes assessed herein. LinkedIn is a professional social network, whose role, potential and importance for the recruitment industry has grown as millions of professionals and businesses around the world create their online profiles/resumes, turning this social network into a place where employers and job seekers meet each other. Based on the work of authors like Cappelli, Qualman, Safko, Hunt, Anand, Khun & Skuterud, Santaella, Krueger, and others who study topics such as online social networks, the Internet and/or recruiting and job searching processes, as well as through the analysis of research conducted by Comscore, Jobvite, Bullhorn, and LinkedIn, the present study provided information that proves the high potential of online social networks as being tools to support the processes of recruitment and job search, and identifies and presents the benefits that LinkedIn has brought to the recruiting and job searching processes in Brazil and worldwide / A internet tornou-se um dos canais mais utilizados para a comunicação de oportunidades ou postos de trabalho, identificação de talentos e pesquisa por emprego nos últimos anos, viabilizando mudanças na forma de atuação e interação entre quem oferta e quem procura trabalho. Empresas e recrutadores passaram a contar com os benefícios que o expressivo alcance da internet trouxe para divulgação de oportunidades de trabalho, enquanto os profissionais à procura de emprego tiveram ampliados os recursos e ferramentas disponíveis para a realização de pesquisas por oportunidades de trabalho divulgadas pelas empresas em seus sites corporativos, nos classificados online e em outros serviços baseados na web, como as redes sociais online. Com a popularização das redes sociais online, novos processos de recrutamento e pesquisa por emprego surgem como tendências, favorecendo a construção de relacionamentos e comunidades que pretendem alavancar a experiência dos recrutadores e profissionais à procura de emprego. E, diante dessa realidade, a presente pesquisa tem como objetivo analisar e descrever de que forma as redes sociais online suportam os processos de recrutamento e pesquisa por oportunidades de trabalho. Nesta pesquisa exploratória descritiva, cujo instrumento utilizado para a coleta de dados foi a pesquisa bibliográfica, foi identificada e destacada, dentre as redes sociais online que despontam como ferramenta de suporte aos processos aqui avaliados, o LinkedIn, uma rede social profissional cujo papel, potencial e importância para a indústria do recrutamento tem crescido à medida que milhões de profissionais e empresas ao redor do mundo criam seus perfis/currículos online, fazendo dessa rede social um local onde empregadores e pessoas à procura de emprego se encontram. Com base nos trabalhos de autores como Cappelli, Qualman, Safko, Hunt, Anand, Khun & Skuterud, Santaella, Krueger, dentre outros que estudam temas como as redes sociais online, a internet e/ou os processos de recrutamento e pesquisa por emprego, bem como por meio da análise de pesquisas realizadas pela Comscore, Jobvite, Bullhorn e LinkedIn, este trabalho forneceu subsídios que comprovam o alto potencial das redes sociais online como ferramenta de suporte aos processos de recrutamento e pesquisa por oportunidades de trabalho, além de identificar e apresentar os benefícios que o LinkedIn trouxe para os processos de recrutamento e pesquisa por emprego no Brasil e no mundo

Potential employees use organization career webpages as a first source of information about potential jobs. A content analysis of the career webpages of twenty organizations that recruit from male-dominant occupations and twenty organizations that recruit for female-dominant occupations were examined for gender-specific textual markers and for textual markers for the characteristics of job expectations of comfort, reward and responsibility. Specific focus was made on college recruitment pages for employment into first post-college jobs. This study found that there is an underlying gender issue on organization’s college recruiting online presence. Organizations that have a recruitment strategy to hire women are challenged to appropriately appeal to women in their online recruitment messaging frameworks. Additionally, the rhetoric of job expectations is elusive and so is inadequate to foster the development of accurate expectations for a first post-college job.

Hiring the wrong leader can have disastrous effects on the productivity, moral, time and budget of an organization. In fact, a gap of leaders will arise in the next years, which makes it necessary to know and use the right strategies for attracting and selecting the appropriate future leaders who have the ability to successfully lead a company. Therefore, recruiting and selecting the right leaders is an important challenge for all organizations worldwide. How can they find, attract and choose people to become leaders? To answer this question, this Thesis looks at the whole process of hiring future leaders for organizations. First, we want to determine what is necessary to be successful in a leadership position in an organization. Second, we figured out what kind of recruitment strategies can be used in order to attract and find leaders, and third, we aim at showing which methods companies can employ to select the best fitting candidate for their vacant leadership position. In order to find answers to these questions, we have conducted interviews with seven leaders from different industry sectors, who shared their experience about leadership and the way of finding, attracting and selecting talented people who can become future leaders. Moreover, we conducted a questionnaire that has been handed out to students who might be potential leaders of the future. To ensure the meaningfulness of the study, we asked students from different faculties in 21 countries. The reason of the mixture of different sources is to acquire a broader insight into how the recruitment and selection of leaders takes place, with the aim of creating a representative picture.

While previous research on foreign recruitment has investigated how rebels manage to recruit from abroad, little attention has been given to the factors that regulate demand from the rebel point of view. This thesis suggests that the organizational complexity of a rebel group affects its range of personnel needs and capability of rendering recruits into military assets. By conducting a comparative case analysis of Al Qaeda in Iraq (2004-2008) and The Islamic State (2012-2016), the study finds that the variety in foreign recruits experienced by the groups in part can be explained by varying degrees of demand. While organizational complexity cannot be established as determiner for the theoretically suggested mechanisms, it does appear to be a strong predictor for both the needs and capabilities of rebels who recruit from abroad.
