    Study Notes

    Labor Market and HR Market

    • The labor market is a set of individuals able to work in a given place in a given period
    • The HR market is comprised of job offers from companies in a specific place during a specific period
    • The number of people hired or filed job positions is the point of equilibrium between job offers and job search
    • The labor market impacts Recruitment and Selection processes by affecting the number of applications received, the quality of applications, the selection criteria applied, and the salaries offered
    • When there are more job offers than people searching for jobs (supply > demand) employers need to be more flexible and less demanding, may offer higher salaries, and will need to focus on retention and fixing efforts.
    • When there are more people searching for jobs than job offers (demand > supply) recruitment becomes slower, companies will have fewer applications, and the criteria used to select candidates may be more strict as finding suitable candidates is more difficult.

    Employer Branding

    • Employer branding aims to attract, retain, and motivate employees.
    • Employer branding builds a perception of the company as a desirable place to work.
