Thesis (MPA.) -- University of Limpopo, 2019 / The Limpopo College of nursing had a high vacancy rate of nurse educators. in 2014 only 74 posts out of 147 were filled. The purpose of the study was to identify challenges in recruiting and retaining nurse educators and recommend strategies to deal with the challenges. The qualitative approach was found suitable as the study intended to explore nurse educators‟ experiences and the meaning they attach to recruitment and retention. Nurse educators who have been at the campuses for a period of five years or more were the target population; purposive convenience sampling was used. Thirteen (n=13) nurse educators were interviewed in focus groups, individual interviews were conducted with ten (n=10) heads of department (HOD‟S). Thematic data analysis was used. The findings revealed that to recruit and retain nurse educators; salaries improvement, advertisement of vacated posts, proper physical infrastructure maintenance and adequate equipment provision are the strategies to implement.

This phenomenological study addressed perceptions of virtual sorority recruitment and was conducted at a large, public university in the Midwestern United States. Data was gathered through interviews using a criterion sampling method in place for this study. Study participants fell into one of the following categories: new members, general members, chapter recruitment chairs, chapter presidents, chapter advisors, chapter recruitment advisors, or the fraternity/sorority advisor. Emerging themes and categories were identified by coding and analyzing the interview data. The themes that were identified were: the convenience of online meetings, reduced emphasis on appearance reduced emotional, financial and time strain, increased accessibility and safety, meaningful conversations, improved communication, the continuation of services, skill development, disruption in building relationships, imperfect implementation, and the grieving process. The findings may be useful for reflecting on virtual sorority recruitment or organization recruitment. The findings may help determine what recruitment functions can be helpful while recruiting in a fully virtual capacity.

MUDr. Michal Otáhal Biomechanický model interakce oběhu a ventilace za podmínek UPV Abstract: Conventional mechanical ventilation provides gas exchange in conditions of respiratory failure by application positive airway pressure in the respiratory system. Due to the significant change in pressure conditions inside the thorax during conventional artificial ventilation the circulation can be significantly affected. Recruitment maneuver (RM) techniques can be a part of ventilation strategy in patients with the Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS), that are used to re-aerate collapsed parts of the lung parenchyma. During these RMs a significantly higher airway pressure is used than in protective ventilation strategy, which can limit the flow through the lung capillary network and can significantly affect the systemic hemodynamics of the patient. The aim of this work was to develop an optimized animation model of ARDS, then to compare the influence that has the application of different types of recruitment maneuvers on hemodynamics and to create a biomechanical simulation model of interaction and blood circulation and its verification with data obtained during the implementation of different types of RM in the experimental animal ARDS model. Results from the experimental animal model and simulations...

Over the past few years, the adoption of AI in recruitment has accellerated. However, there has been a noticeable resistance from HR managers to invest in AI tools for their deparment. With the aim of understanding the causes prompting this resistance, this thesis investigates the factors that impact the pace of adoption of AI in HR, with a focus on recruitment solutions. While designing an analytical framework inspired by the contingency perspective, the factors have been searched through a literature review and their effects have been tested in terms of magnitude and direction through a qualitative study. To do this, the authors performed a case study involving an external partner, an AI solution provider start-up company. A total of 16 semi-structured interviews have been conducted with different levels of stakeholders, including external partner`s employees, investors, competitors, and end- users. Finally, a strategic analysis of the AI recruitment market has been deployed. Our ambition is that the combination of the information over the factors together with the strategic analysis will empower the companies within the industry in taking better informed strategic decisions.

This thesis consists of an introductory part and two self-contained chapters related to the supply of volunteers to the Swedish Armed Forces. Chapter [I] represents the first effort to explore the relationship between civilian labour market conditions and the supply of labour to the military in the all-volunteer environment that Sweden entered after the abolishment of the peacetime draft in 2010. The effect of civilian unemployment on the rate of applications from individuals aged 18 to 25 to initiate basic military training is investigated using panel data on Swedish counties for the years 2011 through 2015. A linear fixed-effects model is estimated to investigate the relationship, while controlling for a range of socio-demographic covariates and unobserved heterogeneity on the regional level, as well as aggregate trends on the national level. The results indicate a positive and statistically significant relationship between the unemployment rate and the application rate. The results are robust to non-linear form specifications, as well as allowing the civilian unemployment rate to be endogenous. As such, the results suggest that the civilian labour market environment in Sweden can give rise to non-trivial fluctuations in the supply of applications to initiate basic military training within the Swedish Armed Forces. Chapter [II] studies how local labour market conditions influence the quality composition of those who volunteer for military service in Sweden. A fixed-effects regression model is estimated on a panel data set containing IQ scores for those who applied for military basic training across Swedish municipalities during the period 2010 to 2016. The main finding is that low civilian employment rates at the local level tend to increase the mean IQ score of those who volunteer for military service, whereas the opposite is true if employment rates in the civilian labour market move in a more favourable direction. As such, the results suggest that the negative impact of a strong civilian economy on recruitment volumes is reinforced by a deterioration in recruit quality.

Syftet med studien är att undersöka rekryterares upplevelser av digitala rekryteringsverktyg. Med stöd från en kvalitativ metod och valet av semistrukturerade intervjuer har vi åstadkommit och fått inblick i hur våra respondenter uppfattat digitala verktyg i rekryteringsprocesser. Med utgångspunkt från våra forskningsfrågor vill vi för det första få en förståelse för hur implementeringen av digitala verktyg har hanterats i olika organisationer. Vidare undersöker vi vilka möjligheter samt utmaningar respondenterna upplever i förhållande till användandet av digitala verktyg i rekryteringsprocesser. Studiens genomförande har utgått från en kvalitativ metod med induktiv ansats. Bearbetning av empirin har hanterats genom en tematisk analys. Studiens teoretiska utgångspunkter som används för att analysera det empiriska materialet är Kurt Lewin’s förändringsmodell samt paradoxteorin. Med stöd av förändringsmodellen förklaras upplevelserna av digitala rekryteringsverktyg utifrån respondenternas berättelser. Genom användning av paradoxteorin har det framkommit att olika motsägelsefulla krafter som utgör olika paradoxer, dessa är av signifikant betydelse i förhållande till förståelsen av analysen kopplat till våra forskningsfrågor. Utifrån resultatet uppkommer det att digitala rekryteringsverktyg utgör ett stöd för rekryteringsprocessen, i olika organisationer. Vid implementering av nya digitala verktyg framkommer det från våra respondenter att ett bredare perspektiv gällande inkludering och planerade utbildningstillfällen i verktygen uppskattas. Möjligheter som identifieras i studien är att rekryterare anser att det bidrar positivt utifrån en tidsaspekt och att all kandidatinformation besparas i berörd organisations databas. Om vi ser till andra sidan myntet har det även framkommit utmaningar på grund av bristande kunskaper gällande IT i organisationen, integrationen mellan organisationers olika digitala verktyg är problematiskt i förhållande till arbetet. Slutligen berättar respondenterna att tillförlitligheten ifrågasätts vid implementeringen eller bristande kunskap av verktyget. / The purpose of the study is to examine recruiter's experiences of digital recruitment tools. The method of choice was qualitative in the form semi-structured interviews with an inductive approach. These have enabled us to gained insight into how our respondents perceived digital tools in recruitment process. The processing of the empirics has been handled through a thematic analysis that enables clarity as well as structure in the study. Based on our research questions, we first want to gain an understanding of how the implementation of digital tools have been handled in various organizations. In addition to this, we investigate what opportunities as well as challenges respondents experience in relation to the use of digital tools in the recruitment process. The study's theoretical starting points used to analyze the empirical material are Kurt Lewin's model of change and the paradox theory. With the support of the change model, the experiences of digital recruitment tools are explained based on the respondents' stories. Through the use of the paradox theory, it has emerged that different contradictory forces that constitute different paradoxes, these are of significant importance in relation to the understanding of the analysis linked to our research questions. Based on the results, it appears that digital recruitment tools constitute a support for the recruitment process in different organizations. When implementing new digital tools, the respondents reveal that a broader perspective regarding inclusion and planned training opportunities in the tools are appreciated. Opportunities identified in the study are that recruiters believe that digital tools contribute positively, based both on a time aspect and that all candidate information is saved in the relevant organization's database. If we look at the other side the coin, there have also been challenges due to lack of knowledge regarding IT in the organization and the fact that the integration between organizations' different digital tools is problematic in relation to the work. Finally, respondents say that reliability is question implementation and/or lack of knowledge of the tool.

The diploma thesis deals with the topic of current trends in the process of recruiting employees in the organization. Recruiting employees is an important process for HR professionals and for the entire organization. Recruitment is classified as a personnel activity. First the diploma thesis characterizes personnel activities, especially the process of recruiting staff and the individual steps of the activity. Then the latest trends in the process of recruiting are presented, as the trend in the development of information technology is reflected in recruitment. The current era of digitization and development of information technology brings new conveniences and tools that can be used not only in the actual recruitment, but also in the next steps of recruitment. Attention is also paid mainly to the methods, partial methods and tools that are used in this area for individual methods. Significant attention is focused on building the employer's brand and at the same time personnel marketing. Personnel marketing is an important element for building an employer's brand and is key in the process of recruiting employees. Building an employer's brand is an essential activity for creating a good image and awareness of a potential candidate. Part of the thesis is a description of a research survey, which...

Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka hur mansdominerade organisationer upplever att kompetensbaserad rekrytering och employer branding kan kombineras i rekryteringsarbetet för att attrahera fler kvinnor. För att besvara studiens syfte valdes en kvalitativ metod där sex semistrukturerade intervjuer genomfördes inom två olika mansdominerade organisationer, varav en är verksam inom bygg- och anläggningsbranschen och den andra inom fordonsindustrin. Intervjuerna genomfördes med rekryterare, employer branding ansvariga, HR-chef och chef för jämställdhets- och mångfaldsfrågor. Resultatet visar att respondenterna upplever både möjligheter och utmaningar med att öka jämställdheten i en mansdominerad organisation med hjälp av en kompetensbaserad rekryteringsstrategi och employer branding. I studiens resultat identifierades att kompetensbaserad rekryteringsstrategi ur ett diskrimineringsperspektiv kan betraktas som nyckeln för att uppnå en icke-diskriminerande rekryteringsprocess. Ur ett jämställdhetsperspektiv framkommer det dock av studiens resultat att det krävs ytterligare åtgärder än en kompetensbaserad rekryteringsstrategi och jämställdhetspolicys för att bli en mer jämställd organisation. Studien visar på att employer branding är en viktig del för attattrahera och rekrytera fler kvinnor till en mansdominerad bransch, men att det är en utmaning att attrahera kvinnlig talang trots ett väletablerat arbetsgivarvarumärke. / The purpose of this study is to investigate how male-dominated organizations view the potential of combining competency-based recruitment and employer branding in recruitment efforts to attract more women. To answer the purpose of the study, a qualitative method was chosen in which six semi-structured interviews were conducted within two different maledominated organizations, one of which is active in the construction industry and the other in the automotive industry. The interviews were conducted with recruiters, employer branding managers, as well as HR manager and Head of Gender Equality and Diversity. The findings from the conducted interviews indicate that in terms of increasing gender equality in a male-dominated organization, respondents experience both opportunities and challenges when using a competency-based recruitment strategy and employer branding. The interviews also identified that the competency-based recruitment strategy is considered to be the key increating a non-discriminatory recruitment process. However, there was evidence that for moving towards a gender equal workplace these strategies were proven to be insufficient and required additional development. The study proposes employer branding as an important part for attracting and recruiting more women into a male-dominated industry. Nevertheless, it is a challenge to attract female talent despite a well-established employer brand.
