Abstract [sv]

Revisionsbranschen har under många år ansetts vara mansdominerad. Tidigare forskning och studier har fokuserat på kvinnors karriär i denna mansdominerade bransch. Vi ville istället undersöka om rekryteringen spelade en roll i denna problematik då det inte finns mycket forskning kring det. Detta mynnade ut i studiens syfte att ur de rekryteringsansvarigas perspektiv förstå rekryteringsprocessen och dess påverkan på jämställdheten i revisionsbranschen. Vi undersöker rekryteringsprocessens fyra övergripande steg vilka är behov, rekryteringskanaler, urval och beslut samt hur de påverkar jämställdheten i revisionsbyråerna. Genusteorin används som en förklaringsmodell till varför det inte är jämställt.

Vi har använt oss av en kvalitativ metod i form av semistrukturerade intervjuer för att samla in empiri till studien. Sju rekryterare har intervjuats, två av dem arbetar på rekryteringsföretag och resterande fem arbetar på revisionsbyråer. Dessa personer valdes ut till respondenter eftersom de arbetar med rekrytering och har därmed störst förståelse för rekryteringsprocessen.

Studien har kommit fram till att varje steg i rekryteringsprocessen spelar en viktig roll i att påverka jämställdheten. Denna studie har inte kunnat påvisa några problem i den externa rekryteringsprocessen givet att revisionsbyråerna förhåller sig till en objektiv kravspecifikation och använder sig av formella rekryteringskanaler.

Abstract [en]

The auditing industry has for many years been considered male-dominated. Previous research and studies have focused on women's careers in this male-dominated industry. We wanted to investigate whether recruitment played a role in this problem as there is barely any research on it. This resulted in the study's purpose of understanding the recruitment process and its impact on gender equality in the auditing industry from the perspective of the recruiters. We examine the recruitment process's four overall steps, which are needs, recruitment channels, selection and decisions, and how they affect gender equality in the audit firms. Gender theory is used as an explanatory model for gender inequality.

We have used a qualitative method in the shape of semi-structured interviews to gather empirical data for the study. Seven recruiters have been interviewed, two of them work at recruitment companies and the remaining five work at auditing firms. These people were selected as respondents because they work with recruitment and thus have the greatest understanding of the recruitment process.

The study has concluded that each step in the recruitment process plays an important role in influencing gender equality. This study has not been able to identify any problems in the external recruitment process, given that the audit firms adhere to an objective requirements specification and use formal recruitment channels.
