Human resources are the heart of the company, as they have the ability, skills and talents. By using them, the other enterprise resources can start moving. In order to fulfill its objectives, mission and various activities, it is necessary to ensure the quality and number of employees also in the public administration.

The aim of the work is to point out the differences in the recruitment process in the public administration and in Slovak companies. We propose the solutions to improve the effectiveness in the recruitment process in the Slovak public administration.
