Employers are more likely to hire people they fancy, researchers claim, as they find "leisure pursuits, background and self-presentation" are more important than skills.

研究人员称,雇主更倾向于雇佣自己喜欢的员工,因为他们觉得"消遣方式、社会背景以及自我表达方式"比技能重要得多。
 
Women in the workplace have fought a long battle to prove their skills, experience and CV are the only keys to their success.
 
But their efforts may have been in vain, as a study find good looks, a winning smile and a little gentle flirtation1(调情,挑逗) may be the key to securing a job after all.
 
Bosses would rather hire someone they find attractive and enjoy spending time with than the perfectly-qualified candidate, it has been claimed.
 
They would rather employ someone "who will be their friend or maybe even their romantic partner", with whom they feel a "spark", researchers have suggested.
 
A study, conducted by American sociologists, has found interviewers at banking2, law and management consultancy firms consistently prefer applicants3 they "feel good around".
 
More than half of employers claim attractiveness, the right social background and how candidates spend their leisure time are the most important considerations when hiring, it is claimed.
 
Dr Lauren Rivera, from Northwestern University in the United States, found interviewers often put their personal feelings of comfort, acceptance and excitement first.
 
Half of those studied ranked "cultural fit" as the most important criterion at job interview stage, meaning they were more likely to hire someone with the same "leisure pursuits, background and self-presentation" as current staff.
 
"Of course employers are looking for people who have the baseline of skills to effectively do the job," she said.
 
"But, beyond that, employers really want people who they will bond with, who they will feel good around, who will be their friend and maybe even their romantic partner.
 
"As a result, employers don't necessarily hire the most skilled candidates."
 
The study, based on 120 interviews and published in the American Sociological Review, is the first investigation4 of its kind into whether shared culture between employers and job candidates matters.
