Abstract:
This article is focused on identifying employers’ requirements on workforce in the South-Moravian
Region and assessing whether or not the requirements are referring mainly to education, level
of qualification and work experience or to competencies. The research is based on the Swedish
approach to monitoring employers’ requirements on workforce, which uses competency-based
qualitative interviewing. The Swedish scenario of a semi-structured interview was adapted to
Czech conditions. 200 employers in the South Moravian Region were interviewed. Pronounced
requirements on workforce refer mainly to education, professional qualifications and experience
and the resulting specific professional competencies. To a large extent the requirements were
focused on values, attitudes and character traits. The general specialized competencies and soft
skills were also mentioned, but mostly as last in order. The requirements varied according to the
size and orientation of the company and the nature of the vacancy.
