description Our paper examines whether competencies really play a significant role in human resource management and enhance competitiveness. It wishes to highlight what competencies (can) enhance the success of employees in the labour market together with certain personality traits that have a powerful impact on decision making mechanisms. An answer is also sought to the question of how competencies have been transformed and re-evaluated. To this end, both primary and secondary research with qualitative (focus group interviews) and quantitative (standardised questionnaires) phases were applied. One of our further objectives was to test a competency structure tailored to the Hungarian labour market situation. As a conclusion, we have justified the existence of competencies mostly in selection. Both employers and employees have pointed out the significance of developing them in training and practice and see competencies as a factor of future growth that help improve the dialogue between the labour market and education.
