Attraktionen hos rekrytering- och bemannningsföretag : "Människor väljer sina varumärken på samma sätt som de väljer sina vänner"

Sammanfattning: Background: Hiring the right people requires a well-executed recruitment process. How candidates choose a company is determined mainly by the company's reputation. To attract the best candidates, companies must work long-term with employer branding as well as to be aware of what attracts the prominent generation. This is especially important as competition for the best candidates increases. This study is based on a made up company where the challenge is to find and attract the right candidates. Purpose: The purpose of the study is to deepen the understanding of how recruiting and staffing companies can empower their brand in recruitment terms. Method: The study is formed from a qualitative method in which interviews, focus groups and a questionnaires have been conducted. The selection of interviews was conducted with two employees working on a recruiting and staffing company. The focus groups and questionnaire were conducted with the selection of students at the Linnaeus University. Empirical data was then collected, analyzed and split into different themes. Empirical data: The result from the interviews showed that the central part concerning recruitment channels is the layout of the job advertisement. The employees also mentioned social media as an important channel, where good and bad rumors are spread. The focus groups complemented the interviews with importance to the accuracy and clarity of job seeking. Their interests should match the company’s offerings and together with the survey respondents they represented the prominent generation. Conclusion: To attract candidates it is important to use the right recruitment channels. The design of the company ́s website is therefore crucial to attract new candidates. To strengthen brands, it is important to think from an outside- perspective, where the rumor plays a big role and an inward-perspective where the employees are the face of the company. The main areas of recruitment channels, employer branding and the prominent generation in the market have resulted in a concept that recruitment and staffing companies will have to be competitive. One of the conclusions is that companies need to think more human to human instead of business to business.
