Description
Summary:In the existing highly competitive environment, every organization’s goal is to hire quality employees. To be able to acquire quality employees, the HR processes related to employee hiring must be conducted properly within the organization. This paper uses primary research to identify and assess recruitment methods used by organizations in the Czech Republic and Slovakia, taking the employer’s brand building into account. The research was conducted on the basis of a questionnaire distributed among Czech (n = 364) and Slovak (n = 340) organizations. The results showed that employers in the Czech Republic most frequently present themselves to potential candidates via their organizations’ websites (43.7%), positive references (38.7%) and media advertisements (32.4%). A similar ranking obtains for Slovakia. Organization websites are used 47.5% of the time, positive references 42.5% of the time and media advertisements 33.2% of the time. In both countries, employees are hired for managerial positions primarily using the organization’s own resources, promoting the building of the employer’s brand.
