Abstract

The aim of the paper is to analyze the use of innovative forms of recruiting in Slovakia and to identify the advantages and disadvantages of such forms in corporate practice. The paper analyzes the forms of recruiting as an important part of personnel work with the minimal costs and such quantity and quality of employees that are desirable to satisfy the corporate needs of human resources. It points to the recruitment process in order to identify the advantages and disadvantages of innovative forms in this field and to propose measures for their more efficient use in business practice in Slovakia. The subject of the research were innovative forms of recruitment. The object of the research were 284 enterprises operating in Slovakia. The innovative forms of recruiting are mostly influenced by technical progress; the popularity of particular social and professional networks; the availability of virtual workshops; the development of assessment centers and serious games. Both standard and innovative forms are affected by the type of job position and the overall attitude of HR employees and business owners towards modern practices in general. We can say that innovative forms are still in the process of adapting in Slovakia and are not the most used way of recruiting employees. Majority of Slovak enterprises, regardless of any incorporation, most frequently use advertisements, recommendations and direct search while recruiting new employees. Innovative forms of recruiting can be mostly found among advertising and marketing agencies, IT and communication companies. With the arrival of a new generation of employees to the position of HR managers, owners and employees connected to the Internet forms from their early age, we expect the innovative forms to occupy the first positions. We also expect some of the innovative forms, for example serious games or virtual trade fair, to infiltrate slowlier, considering the difficulty of preparation and overall opinion of the society. Development of these innovations is closely connected to popularity of the social networks. If a social network is less popular, firms will stop using it and they will focus on the other social sites or other forms of getting new employees.

Keywords: Recruiting, innovative forms, HRM, Slovak enterprises.
