The Slovenian Armed Forces and the Police are the key organisations in the National Security System of the Republic of Slovenia. Both organisations face many challenges in the recruitment process which, given the current situation in society, are reflected in a general change in values, and consequently, the changed labour market. The Slovenian Armed Forces and the Police, both having a rigid structure, address the above-mentioned changes with difficulty, which impacts their recruitment process. Both organisations also cope with challenges in the labour market, as they compete for human resources with other organisations. Although they are both part of the National Security System, they compete against each other for new staff. Some conceptual proposals how the two organisations could cooperate in the recruitment process have already been presented to the public. Based on the specialist literature, normative legal acts and expert interviews, I have established that the Slovenian Armed Forces and the Police share several common themes in their conditions for entry in the organisation, which make good starting points for their cooperation. The two organisations could establish their own cooperation model for recruitment purposes based on these common themes. The recruitment cooperation model stems from the idea of a flow of staff from the Slovenian Armed Forces into the Police after a few years of service. Such a systemic solution would render both organisations more effective in the recruitment process, as well as enabling future retention and management of human resources.
