Have you been on a job interview for a position as a lawyer, auditor or within finance? Was sports and sports performances the theme of the interview? S\u00e6vik actively runs cross -country skiing, and participated among others on the mainland race. Photo: Private – Yes, I noticed that in quite early, says law student Joakim S\u00e6vik. He bet for a long time in cross -country skiing and competed at the top of the junior level, before leaving the sky on the shelf. It has captured the interest of several law firms, how he has been on a job interview. – When I pull out it, the conversation often flow off, and they may forget the questions they have actually asked, because they become so engaged, and can relate to what I have to say, says S\u00e6vik. Joakim Selnes S\u00e6vik attends the second year of law study at the University of Bergen.

A recent study has a doctoral fellow Lisa S\u00f8lvberg at the University of Bergen followed ten appointments processes, which she has seen 200 candidates being assessed and observed over 60 job interviews. In addition, she has done 50 interviews with the employers themselves. The finding is the following: The lawyer, audit and finance industry favors candidates who hold on with high-level sports. Sports were the theme in over 80 percent of the job interview in these industries. – This is surprising. These employers want candidates who work with sports at a high level, says S\u00f8lvberg, who points out that the sports it was most often talked about was reluctant sports such as cross -country or jumping. Doctoral fellow Lisa S\u00f8lvberg has written the study with Lauren Rivera at Northwestern University. Photo: Ismail Burak Akkan \/ news Many of the employers used sports as a central criterion when they chose the woman who was going to interview, the researcher explains. – At the start of a job interview you often have the small talk where one gets to know, and then sports were a central thing to talk about the first minutes of the interview, says S\u00f8lvberg. Changing the focus the employers S\u00f8lvberg interviewed said that they often knew who they wanted to appoint during the first five minutes of the job interview. S\u00f8lvberg had no idea that sports would be the focus of her research project. – But when I started to follow the appointment processes, it was such a clear theme that it is known for the time to write about it. Does it mean the status – what was the cause, as you perceived it, that they would talk about sports? – Many said that they looked at people who are engaged in sports as more enduring, hard -working, ambitious and had a higher competitive instinct. They also fit in socially in the company, it was more that emphasized, says S\u00f8lvberg. People get ready for say stage in the Holmenkoll relay. The picture is from a few years back. Photo: Audun Braastad \/ NTB According to S\u00f8lvberg, it was to add athletes to raise the status of this type of company, among others to top the team for competitions such as the Holmenkoll relay and the Birkebeinerrennet. Disabled news has talked to several employers in these industries. – This does not surprise me. It is part of the properties a person who has sports, which we as a company are interested in. That says HR manager at EY Norway, Line Finstad, says when she hears about the study. But the fact that people who have a high level sports are favored is not Finstad entirely together. She says it is the same if you burn to be judged to play the piano. Finstad explains that EY Well out candidates for job interviews based on objective criterion, and that those who recruit are training not to go in different interviews: – It can typically be an end that is called: The person is good at sports, ergo you are a good consultant, says Finstad. -The focus on “Well-Being” lies there yes. But we have only one team of 15 people among our 2400 employees who are at the elite level in the Holmenkoll relay. We also provide 600 employees who jump because they just want to do something socially, says Finstad.

What do they do? – Then I think it is about the woman who is best owned to solve the specific tasks. – Extremely important Bjarte Ulvestad is a partner in the audit section of the competitor KPMG. – My immediate reaction is that it is a somewhat scary development, says Ulvestad, after hearing about the study. He has added many in his years to KPMG, but says he has never used sports as a selection criterion. -I find it difficult to see me that is a one-to-one relationship between having a good top athlete and being a good consultant and auditor. He sits in a wheelchair himself, and welcomes the debate. – If there are several attitudes among employers, it is extremely important to identify these obstacles, in order to ensure a diverse working life, says Ulvestad. – Should know what one wants to research S\u00f8lvberg experienced that there were very few of the employers who talked to who problematized the sports focus. – It may be the right -wing out, and I think more of the employers even think it was fair to evaluate job seekers on the basis of their sports doctor. But I think it is not, says S\u00f8lvberg. – But is it natural to ask people questions about what they do in their spare time? And that sports that way come up is not so strange? – If an employer asks such a question, then they should know what they want with it, I think. S\u00f8lvberg says that one in the UK has gone more and more away from using sports as a criterion in appointment processes, because one has seen that it has excluded certain groups. Photo: Ismail Burak Akkan \/ news This practice excludes people from lower class backgrounds – who are much less involved in organized sports – people with disabilities and partly women, says the researcher. – I hope this can cause fewer employers to use sports as a way of evaluating employees, says S\u00f8lvberg. – Very unfortunate law student S\u00e6vik does not hide that many of the properties he brings with him from the sport are relevant in working life. – For my own part, this benefits me. But it is very unfortunate if other very competent law students are selected away because they do not have the same experience, says S\u00e6vik. – It is good with increased focus on this to create more diversity in working life, says S\u00e6vik.
