The current lack of workers is forcing HR professionals to look abroad, not just to geographically close countries but also further east. At the same time, experts on the labour market believe there are still enough people in the local market, they only need the right motivation to take up a job.
The Slovak Spectator asked professionals from leading HR companies in Slovakia about the changes on the labour market, including those brought about by the legal obligation to publish salaries in job ads. The questions were answered by (in alphabetical order):
Peter Dosedla (PD), CEO at Manuvia,
Miroslav Garaj (MG), Country Manager Slovakia at Grafton Recruitment,
Ivana Heretik Vačoková (IHV), Permanent Placement Director at Adecco Slovakia, and Lucia Nacíková (LN), Senior Consultant at Amrop Slovakia.
