Summary/Abstract: At a time of demographic changes and a growing labor shortage, finding employees, and above all competent employees, is the focus of companies. This paper will discuss human resources and the Croatian labor market. The research was conducted in 2018, and the final sample for analysis included 1041 respondents, the results obtained on the research questions are the result of the respondents’ judgment. From the analysis of the conducted research, it emerges that 11% of respondents believe that they are not ready for the Croatian labor market. Respondents cited unfair relations in the labor market (bribery, corruption, employment through connections) as the main reason for insufficient readiness for the Croatian labor market. They cite the lack of application of knowledge in practice as the main disadvantage of higher education, and considering the situation of mismatch between the education system and the labor market, 60% of respondents are aware that they are responsible for their competitiveness in the labor market.
