Kandidatų požiūriai į įvairius atrankos metodus traukia organizacinės ir darbo psichologijos atstovų dėmesį dėl įvairių priežasčių, viena svarbiausių jų – tai, jog individų požiūriai į personalo atrankos metodus įtakoja jų vėlesnį elgesį. Ir nors tyrimų atlikta skirtingose šalyse nemažai, tačiau jokių duomenų nerandama Lietuvos ir Švedijos imtims. Šiame darbe iškeliamas tikslas - ištirti lietuvių studentų, lietuvių darbuotojų ir švedų studentų požiūrį į personalo atrankos metodus.
