Abstract [sv]

Detta examensarbete undersöker konsultchefer i bemanningsbranschen och deras upplevelser kring att attrahera, rekrytera och matcha kandidater, med särskilt fokus på komplexiteten som medförs av trepartsrelationen mellan konsult, kundföretag och bemanningsföretag. Studien är baserad på åtta kvalitativa intervjuer med konsultchefer som arbetar på ett bemanningsföretag i Sverige. Dessa intervjuer har analyserats genom tematisk analys. Studien analyserar deras strategier i en urvalsprocess, hur de hanterar kompetensbrist och vilka utmaningar som kan uppstå i relation till de andra parterna i trepartsrelationen. Resultatet visar att konsultchefens arbete kantas av behovet av att själv kunna väga kundföretagets kravprofil mot sin egen bedömning av kandidaten och dess personlighet, potential och engagemang utifrån sin magkänsla och erfarenhet. Vidare visar resultatet hur konsultchefens roll kräver att de är närvarande och bygger tillit gentemot konsulten, trots att det är hos kundföretaget som konsultens dagliga arbete sker. Studien bidrar med en fördjupad inblick och förståelse kring konsultchefens roll i en struktur som präglas av komplexitet, något som det ännu finns förhållandevis lite forskning om inom arbetsvetenskapen.

Abstract [en]

This thesis explores the experiences of consultant managers in the staffing industry in regard to how they attract, recruit, and match candidates, with particular focus to the complexity in the relationship of three between consultant, client company, and staffing company. The study is based on eight qualitative interviews with consultant managers working at a staffing company in Sweden. These interviews have been analyzed using a thematic analysis. It studies their strategies in the process of selection, how they handle lack of qualified candidates, and what challenges may emerge in relation to the other parties in the relationship’s structure. The findings show that consultant managers must consider the client's requirements against their own judgement of a candidate’s personality, potential, and commitment, often relying on their own experience and gut feeling. Furthermore, the results show that the consultant manager’s role requires them to be present and have the ability to build trust with consultants, even though the consultants' daily work takes place at the client company. This study provides a deeper understanding of the consultant manager’s role within a structurally complex environment, a subject that remains relatively unexplored in work science as a field.
