Abstract

This paper examines the behaviour of organisations in a labour market with labour shortages. When there is a labour shortage, it is more difficult for organisations to attract and recruit the candidates they need. Under these circumstances, organisations need to adopt different recruitment strategies and actions to enable them to hire the right human resources to meet the requirements of their vacancies. The main objective of the paper is to identify the problems of providing organisations with the necessary human resources in a market with both quantitative and qualitative labour shortages. The paper highlights that organisations need to pay more attention to the process of attracting and recruiting candidates if they are to face increased competition in the labour market. In order to achieve the research objectives, a questionnaire was administered to 350 enterprises in the Republic of Moldova, including 83 large enterprises, 105 medium-sized enterprises,100 small enterprises and 62 microenterprises. The results obtained show that the majority of enterprises find a shortage of labour in the labour market of the Republic of Moldova.
