Recruitment and Labor Market Situation
Recruitment and Labor Market Situation

Summary/Abstract: The present situation on the labor market contributes significantly to the increasing number of problems faced by organizations. The recruitment process is influenced by not only a small number of jobseekers with the qualifications desired by particular organizations, but also by the expectations of those persons, especially when the qualifications and skills represented by them fall into the category of deficits. In this case, companies should also be active in the field of education. The need to conduct educational activities by organizations is also a consequence of the fact that due to the lack of specialists, the recruitment process usually involves people without experience, who have only basic skills for the profession and the necessary qualifications. That this type of approach generates additional costs for companies as they have to educate new employees already in the first phase of their work. It should be stressed, however, that any costs incurred in training employees should be treated as a long-term investment. The difficulties in recruiting workers may also be exacerbated by the technological revolution that is taking place all over the world and in Poland today. The phenomenon of digital exclusion connected with this revolution plays a significant role on the Polish labor market. Employers should try to reach candidates other than hitherto, modern or more direct channels. In conclusion, the lowest unemployment rate in Poland for a quarter of a century requires employers to do more than advertise on the Internet or the press. Companies need to be aware that in order to create a strong team, they have to invest not only in it, but above all to reach those people who can be a valuable acquisition for the company.
