Acquisition and selection of human resources through different channels, and their managing are key for every company. In companies with a hundred people or more, human resource managers face the difficulty of acquiring and finding the appropriate candidates on a daily basis. Given the strong competition in all job profiles, the companies are applying various methods or channels to acquire the candidates. As it is crucial for companies to acquire appropriate and qualified staff, the methods of selecting the candidates need to be adapted accordingly. Different companies apply different methods of searching for their staff and selecting them. It is even more important to be familiar with the labour force market. If companies are successful at using their acquisition and search tactics, and employees stay in their positions longer and have the opportunity to be promoted, trained and rewarded in their workplace, companies gain the status of a reputable employer and become a good example in the labour market. Such companies can then get hold of the most successful and most sought-after staff more easily than the ones which do not have such a system in place, do not invest enough effort, and do not use appropriate methods of finding and selecting staff. In my master’s thesis, in the theoretical part, I will define personnel and human resources in a company, their acquisition, and methods of selection that are most often used. The selection methods of course differ among job profiles and job positions. In the empirical part of my thesis, I will present the most successful methods used by a certain company to find and select the most qualified, highly motivated, adaptable, and competent employees.
