Rekryterares upplevda utmaningar : En kvalitativ studie om rekryteringsprocessen och eventuella felrekryteringar / Recruiters perceived challenges : A qualitative study of the recruitment process and possible wrong fit recruitmentsOlausson, Jonathan, Elmér, Nellie January 2023 (has links)
Den kvalitativa studien syftar till att undersöka subjektiva upplevelser om rekryteringsprocessen och eventuella felrekryteringar. Med dagens teknik, den nya generationen påväg in till arbetsmarknaden och den nyligen passerade pandemin är det nu mer än någonsin viktigt att hitta rätt person till rätt plats och position. Vi ville med studien få en djupare förståelse från en rekryterares och rekryterande chefs perspektiv kring utmaningarna med just detta och hur konsekvenserna av en felrekrytering kan upplevas. I den teoretiska referensramen redovisas både ett objektivt och ett subjektivt perspektiv. Det objektiva förhållningssättet som rekryteringsprocessen präglas av och det subjektiva perspektivet i och med de psykologiska fenomenen som intervjuareffekterna. Studiens metod har utförts genom en kvalitativ ansats genom ett empiriskt material som samlats in i form av 8 intervjuer. Målgruppen har bestått av personer som idag arbetar med rekrytering och gjort sedan minst 1 år tillbaka. Intervjuerna har spelats in, efter respondenternas godkännande, och transkriberats. Intervjuerna har sedan analyserats enligt tematisk analysmetod. Studiens syfte besvaras genom våra tre presenterade frågeställningar. Resultatet pekar på upplevda utmaningar med sammanställning av kravprofil, första urvalet och intervjuer under rekryteringsprocessen. Då slutsatserna baseras på subjektiva upplevelser och känslor har resultatet varierat, trots det har respondenterna beskrivit snarlika upplevelser. Konsekvenser av felrekrytering har upplevts som omfattande och har påverkat organisationen negativt i såväl ett ekonomiskt perspektiv som organisatoriskt.
