- Abstract

To achieve a better understanding of the creation of meaning and the recruitement process as a whole, we used the qualitative software Meaning Constitution Analysis and the possible difference between the two groups were analysed with The Sign Test. The findings showed a tendency among the recruiters to chose the applicants that were more representatively dressed. This indicates that they can not disregard the photagraphs and therefor give clothing a significance. We find it important to make recruiters aware of the problematics of this area, to be able to prevent empoyments based on irrelevant criteria. (Less)
