Abstract

A flexible and dynamic labor market is a reflection of modern business, and the employees are the key to success for any company. Therefore, the companies that recognize this fact and manage to select and retain quality staff are more likely to achieve competitive advantage. To choose good quality staff means to organize the recruitment process properly and to select the candidates capable of being efficient and loyal to the company. Recruitment is the process which includes a number of professional procedures with the aim of identifying and hiring the most qualified candidates. In the recruitment process, candidates' competences have a vital role. There are a number of papers devoted both to concepts of competence and to various models of the key competencies. Defining these models is developed with the aim to identify a number of efficient individuals who will become a part of a company and achieve both their goals and the goals of the company. The competencies which a candidate needs to have are most often divided in two groups: those which are essential and which a candidate needs to have in order to do the job properly, and those which a candidate needs to have in order to be as successful as possible on the job. The objective of this paper is to determine the list of key competencies.
