Investigation about the barrier of international job seekers to get recruited in Norway: an analysis of language competency of international job applicant on getting hired, and impact of job seekers cultural background on the recruiters hiring decisions

Abstract

This research paper investigated the barriers of the international skill workers in order to find a job and getting recruited by focusing on various industrial and engineering fields. This study is based on qualitative method. Also I review the previous research about job seeker’s problem and the effect of different conditions on the process of employment. All the related data has been collected through the open ended questionnaires. In particular, I narrow down the target of my research to find out the importance of speaking Norwegian and the impact of the stereotyping and prejudgment of the host recruiters on the hiring decisions.
