Jula’s employment question: Are you black, white or flerrasig? – Radio Sweden

When Jula would hire staff for new Skovde department store got the candidates to answer questions about their ethnicity.

Are you White / Caucasian, African American / Black, Asian or Latino? If you have two or more races in you? It was the query options that jobseekers to Jula’s new Skovde Department Stores had to take a position in a web form.

Until P4 Skaraborg got in touch with the company and asked about this. Now the “Ethnic Group” away from the application form.

– We changed the recruitment system a few weeks ago. And then came this scroll bar for some strange reason with. It is the supplier of the system that has made a mistake, which is very unfortunate, says Johan Bergman, HR Director at Jula.

– There is absolutely nothing that we knew or asked for.

Bergman says that it is an international company that supplied the system.

– I know that, for example in North America is this issue more common. And it was an English scroll bar menu that came up.

– There we resolved that this certainly not to appear on our site. We also talked with the system provider that it will not happen again, says Johan Bergman.
