- Abstract
- The purpose of this study was to examine the usage of Artificial Intelligence in Swedish recruitment as well as gaining a greater understanding of how Swedish recruiters perceive and experience the implementation of Artificial Intelligence in their daily work. The study was conducted as a qualitative interview study using semistructured interviews with nine recruiters that, prior to the data collection, have implemented Artificial Intelligence in their recruitment process. The sample was made through purposive and convenience sampling in order to find participants that met the criteria for the study’s purpose. The data material collected from the interviews were analysed using a thematic analysis. Five main themes emerged from the data... (More)

The sample was made through purposive and convenience sampling in order to find participants that met the criteria for the study’s purpose. The data material collected from the interviews were analysed using a thematic analysis. Five main themes emerged from the data including 11 sub-themes. The first research question concerns the nature of use of Artificial Intelligence by Swedish recruiters. Results from the study shows that the usage differs significantly across companies and is being used for several different purposes. Though, the majority of respondents mainly use Artificial Intelligence in the early stages of the recruitment process. The second research question aims to gain a greater understanding of Swedish recruiter’s experience of implementing Artificial Intelligence as a tool in their work. The most prominent results highlighted the recruiter’s positive adjustment towards the implementation of Artificial Intelligence followed by nuanced reflections discussing possible imminences. Furthermore the results suggest a possible knowledge gap regarding the relationship between Artificial Intelligence and discrimination in recruitment. (Less)

- Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka användandet av artificiell intelligens i rekrytering i Sverige samt att öka förståelsen för hur svenska rekryterare upplever implementeringen av artificiell intelligens i sitt dagliga arbete. Studien genomfördes som en kvalitativ intervjustudie med semistrukturerade intervjuer med nio rekryterare som, före datainsamlingen, hade implementerat artificiell intelligens i deras rekryteringsprocess. Urvalet gjordes genom ett målinriktat och bekvämlighetsurval för att hitta deltagare som fyllde kriterierna för studien. Datamaterialet från intervjuerna analyserades genom tematisk analys. Fem huvudteman identifierades, vilka inkluderade 11 underteman. Den första forskningsfrågan behandlar hur svenska... (More)

Studien genomfördes som en kvalitativ intervjustudie med semistrukturerade intervjuer med nio rekryterare som, före datainsamlingen, hade implementerat artificiell intelligens i deras rekryteringsprocess. Urvalet gjordes genom ett målinriktat och bekvämlighetsurval för att hitta deltagare som fyllde kriterierna för studien. Datamaterialet från intervjuerna analyserades genom tematisk analys. Fem huvudteman identifierades, vilka inkluderade 11 underteman. Den första forskningsfrågan behandlar hur svenska rekryterare använder artificiell intelligens. Studiens resultat visar att användningen skiljer sig avsevärt mellan företagen och att artificiell intelligens används för flertalet ändamål. Majoriteten av respondenterna använde dock artificiell intelligens främst i början av rekryteringsprocessen. Den andra forskningsfrågan ämnar att skapa en djupare förståelse för svenska rekryterares erfarenheter av implementeringen av artificiell intelligens som ett verktyg i arbetet. De mest framträdande resultaten visar att rekryterarna i huvudsak har en positiv inställning till implementeringen av artificiell intelligens, följt av nyanserade reflektioner kring möjliga risker. Vidare indikerar resultaten på en möjlig kunskapslucka gällande relationen mellan artificiell intelligens och diskiminering i rekrytering. (Less)
