Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka hur rekryterare upplever positiv och negativ stereotypisering gentemot kandidater inom kompetensbaserad rekrytering. Studienbaserades på kvalitativa intervjuer med rekryterare som arbetar, eller har arbetat, inom kompetensbaserad rekrytering. Data analyserades genom induktiv tematisk analys. Resultatet visade att rekryterare upplevde att chefer och kollegor haft betydelse när det kom till stereotypisering, men att även rekryterarens egna tankar spelat in. Det framkom även ett antal olika faktorer kring stereotypisering gentemot kandidater, som rekryterare upplevde. Dessa faktorer var främst konfirmeringsbias, extraversion, ålder, kön och etnicitet. För att undvika stereotypisering ansåg respondenterna i denna studie att ett tydliggjort rekryteringsramverk samt kunskap om kompetensbaserad rekrytering var viktigt. Respondenterna ansåg också att digitala hjälpmedel samt personlighets- och problemlösningstester var bra metoder för att minska risken för stereotypisering.Praktiska aspekter och förslag till fortsatt forskning diskuteras även i denna studie. / The aim of this study was to investigate how recruiters experience positive and negative stereotyping towards candidates within competency-based recruitment. The study was based on qualitative interviews with recruiters who work, or have worked, withincompetency-based recruitment. Data was analysed by an inductive thematic analysis. The result indicated that recruiters experienced that leaders and colleagues wereimportant when it came to stereotyping, but that the recruiter's own thoughts also wereimportant. A number of different factors regarding stereotyping towards candidates, that recruiters experienced, also emerged. These factors were mainly confirmation bias, extraversion, age, gender and ethnicity. In order to avoid stereotyping, the participants in this study believed that a clarified recruitment framework as well as knowledge, education and experience in competency-based recruitment was important. The participants also considered that digital aids and personality and problem-solving tests were good methods to reduce the risk of stereotyping. Practical aspects and suggestions for further research are also discussed in this study.
